Differentiated instruction according to Carol Ann Tomlinson is the process of "ensuring that what a student learns, how he or she learns it and how the student demonstrates what he or she has learned is a match for that student's readiness level, interests and preferred mode of learning". Teachers can be differentiated through the following four ways: through content, process, product, learning environment based on the individual learner. Question 2: differentiated instruction has been the focus in education since IDEA passed, it has been around for a while. This is because good teachers don't need a class to tell them that their students are different. Even in a homogeneously grouped classroom, a teacher will be faced with a diversity of learners. The teacher provide a variety of practical instructional strategies to accomodate a broad range of learning styles, abilities and curriculum content. Creative, ready-to-use lessons mapped to curriculum content standards, activities and templates allow teachers to effectively integrate differentiated instruction into courses in education.

NAME:AKINROTIMI OLUKEMI OLUTOSIN. MARIC NO:EGL/08/3059. DEPT:ENGLISH. To start with,what is differentiation?,it means designing instruction to meet individual needs. Whether teachers differentiate content,process,products,or the learning environment ,the use of ongoing assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful approach to instruction. In a differentiated classroom,teachers perceive the differences that make students unique,not to distinguish one as better or less than another,but to form instructional objectives that effectively match each student. By instructing in flexible groups,the teacher is able to effectively vary the leve and kinds of instructional materials as well as customize learning assignments,many of which directly respond to learner's interest. Differentiated instruction can be effectively integrated into courses in education in the following ways; (1) Avoid trying to differentiate what was not effective in the first place. (2)Recognize, respect, and respond to learner differences as learning experiences are planned. Vary the types of learning experiences so different kinds of learning styles and intelligences can be observed, identified, and then acted upon in lesson planning. (3)Integrate learning standards. In differentiated classrooms, teachers skillfully integrate clusters of learning standards in engaging learning tasks that enable students to demonstrate understanding. The standards are viewed as springboards for discussions and learning experiences instead of ends in themselves. (4)Prompt high-level thinking and responses for all students. Challenge students to continually analyze and synthesize as they work to construct solutions. Encourage multiple responses from students instead of suspending discussion after only one response. As appropriate, follow up multiple responses with evaluative thinking by involving students in ranking the list of generated ideas based on effectiveness or some other pertinent criterion. (5)Promote content integration. Selected learning experiences should allow students to connect prior knowledge and new information rather than stress isolated skills. Select interesting activities with multiple opportunities for integration and application of concepts and skills. Busy teachers do not have time for activities that are merely fun to do. The goal is for every task to engage students and expand their content understanding. (6)Encourage complexity and challenge. Provide tasks that involve varying levels of difficulty and incorporate appropriate levels of challenge to account for individual readiness levels. (7)Support students' interests and choices. Provide multiple opportunities for students to choose topics to study, products to develop, and an array of applications and extensions to enhance their learning. (8)Elicit active mental engagement in learning. Select learning experiences designed to actively engage students' minds and bodies in learning. Students who are mentally engaged are seldom bored; active involvement increases their learning and personal connections to the content. The goal is for most of the students to be actively engaged most of the time. (9)Continually share criteria for success and high achievement with students. Clearly established criteria are communicated to the students in advance of the learning experience and used for self or collaborative evaluation. Some examples of criteria include: complexity of content or solution, accuracy and depth of information, quality, group cooperation, evidence of understanding, appearance, originality, integration of skills, organization, time management, applications of technology, and presentation.

RESPONSE 2 In order to make differentiated learning effectively integrated into courses in education, both the teachers and principal of a school has a lot to do. these includes: 1. The teacher must be confident, competent, and creative in implementing some technologies in his teachings. 2. The reason for integrating learning technology needs to be clear and reasonably communicated to the teachers and students by the principal. 3. There should be provision of appropriate professional development, time and resources to support effective classroom implementation of technology. 4. The early adopters should share their ideas and strategies with the inexperienced. 5. Students should be encouraged by their teachers to use email, going online or using multimedia tools to produce and publish online.

In order to make differentiated learning effectively integrated into courses in education, both the teachers and principal of a school has a lot to do. these includes:
1. The teacher must be confident, competent, and creative in implementing some technologies in his teachings.
2. The reason for integrating learning technology needs to be clear and reasonably communicated to the teachers and students by the principal.
3. There should be provision of appropriate professional development, time and resources to support effective classroom implementation of technology.
4. The early adopters should share their ideas and strategies with the inexperienced.
5. Students should be encouraged by their teachers to use email, going online or using multimedia tools to produce and publish online.
