Differentiating Instruction for Students With Learning Disabilities: Best Teaching Practices for General and Special Educators

Educators working in special education and inclusive general education classrooms will find this a useful guide. Bender (U. of Georgia) devotes an initial chapter to defining the concept of differentiated instruction. The remaining chapters describe various techniques, including metacognitive and scaffolded learning, tutoring in the inclusive classroom, self- management, and assessment. Throughout, strategies are described that help stress the teacher-student relationship. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
