FIAE Chapter 1

Differentiated instruction has always been a heated topic for me. The experiences I have had with this type of education have been devastating. However, this chapter opened to my eyes about how differentiated instruction is supposed to be used effectively. “Differentiated practices are the ways we maximize students’ learning at every turn” (pg 5 Fair isn’t Always Equal). As a teacher this way of viewing differentiated instruction seems logical. If differentiation is used to “maximize” students’ potential then I am not skeptical for using it. Differentiated practices should be used to help those students who are struggling with one type of instruction so that they have an alternative for learning the information.
