About the Author
Judith Dodge effectively blends her years of experience and the latest research on differentiated instruction to provide teachers with innovative tools that generate immediate impact on classroom teaching and learning. In this book she helps teachers to: translate research into action, inform their instruction through on-going and frequent assessments, access multiple pathways for learning, foster "intrinsic" motivation, use "instructional intelligence" and flexible groupings, harness the power of visual tools, scaffold instruction for struggling learners, and provide challenging options for advanced learners.

Customer Reviews

TEACHER FRIENDLY TOOL!
Differentiation in Action is an outstanding resource! Well-grounded in theory, it provides teachers and administrators with excellent instructional tools and strategies that any teacher can use to differentiate instruction and performance assessments. Some strategies are quick and easy; others are more comprehensive. Judy shares a brilliant, user-friendly integration of Bloom's Taxonomy and Gardner's Multiple Intelligences. Using Judy's models, "tiering by complexity" can become a reality for teachers. This book is a must have for teachers and administrators having the "differentiation dialogue!"

Practical Resource
I have known that differentiation in the classroom is key to student success. Practical application has been my stumbling block. Finally, a resource has surfaced that offers theory and practice! I was able to use the strategies immediately. The format of the book is easy to follow. I have already recommended it to my teammates. This is a must-read for classroom teachers. (I wish my own children's teachers would read it as well!) Another plus is the abundance of other resources, including websites for more in-depth information.

Easy to Read, Easy to Use
Differentiation in Action is a fantastic resource for every teacher. It gives practical, easy to understand, and easy to use strategies that can be implemented in any grade level classroom across any subject area. Thank you to Judith for writing such a wonderful guide that demystifies differentiation and also offers clear and useful examples.
