Differentiate to meet Students' Needs

Why do we differentiate? From field I have began to see more of the importance of differentiating and teaching to my students' needs. This is one of my favorite posters...

I feel as I take the time to differentiate and teach to my students' needs I will be a successful teacher. I think about the teacher I am working with in field and how much she teaches to the needs of her students. She will use visuals, give simple directions, shorten work, use music in her teaching, repeat things over and over again. She is such a great example of a teacher who differentiates students according to their readiness. I hope I will be able to be a teacher that influences my students educational experience as I differentiate in my classroom.
