If you're in need of a single resource to put differentiated instruction immediately into practice, then follow the lead of 100,000+ teachers and look to Gregory and Chapman's ground-breaking text. Across two editions, the book has remained unmatched in its simplicity and practicality. The same is just as true with this new edition. But with new strategies, updates throughout, a Common Core lesson-planning template, and a larger format, the third edition is an even richer resource.

Why has Differentiated Instructional Strategies remained such a classroom favorite?

  • Its start-to-finish six-step process, beginning with establishing a classroom climate, then getting to know students
  • Its emphasis on formative assessment before, during, and after learning
  • Its many instructional strategies for using the data gathered
  • Its many models for planning effective differentiated lessons, supported by 70+ templates, tools, and questionnaires


Whether you're a first-time user or longtime fan, you'll find everything you need to create a truly brain-friendly differentiated classroom.
