Product Description
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 practice 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.

Worth the money!
Great book - I read it in one afternoon. This book is a great resource for teachers. It reminds teachers that they already differentiate for students without even realizing it. Wormeli offers great strageties for 6-12 teachers of all content areas (your not left out Math teachers). It offers strategies before a lesson, during a lesson, and after a lesson. Wormeli also included information on assessment and its relevancy to student achievement.
Insightful and Accessible
Definitely buy this book if you are a teacher looking for practical, sound advice from a veteran who knows his stuff! I saw Rick Wormeli present on differentiated assessment and grading, and was immediately hooked by his vast knowledge of current educational research, stage presence and overall enthusiasm. This book offers advice that you will want to use immediately, and helps you understand that you are probably already differentiating, while offering ways to improve upon your everyday practice.
