In this refreshing addition to differentiated learning literature, Rick Wormeli takes readers step-by-step from the blank page to a fully crafted differentiation lesson. Along the way he shows middle and high school teachers and behind-the-scenes planning that goes into effective lesson design for diverse classrooms. Rick demonstrates how to weave common and novel differentiation strategies into all subjects and offers clear advice about what to do when things don't go as expected. Based on nearly thirty years of experience as a teacher and instructional coach, Rick's thoughtful and imaginative classroom accommodations will help teachers succeed with advanced students, struggling students, English language learners, and students across the multiple intelligences spectrum. A thorough and practical guide, Differentiation: From Planning to Practice also provides an overview of the cognitive science behind differentiation as well as a more than two-dozen tools that make differentiation doable in the classroom. This is an essential resource for all reflective teachers.

Reviews
Education Book Review - May 2008
"Differentiation is a comprehensive discussion of the findings of the latest pedagogical literature, on which the author bases a sound practical guide to this approach." Education Book Reviews -
"This is a thoughtful book. Even readers who disagree with Wormeli's beliefs will benefit from reading his views. I recommend this book for academic libraries, pre-service teachers, and middle school/junior high teachers in differentiated classrooms." Education Review - May 2008
"The structure of this book lends itself particularly well to the busy teacher. The writing is succinct with regular recap sections throughout chapters and prompts in the margin to ensure that the central points are made clear."
