Differentiated classroom is

1. Proactive - Teacher needs to know the kids and tailor instructions.

2. Qualititive but not just a lot of work for all. (A student who knows this math does not need to practice with 50 problems of this kind)

3. Evaluating all the time. Is it working? What can be modified?(not just a unit test after everything)

4. Multiple Approaches to content, process, and product.

5. Student centered. Interesting. Relevant. Teacher will eventually make students responsible for learning.

6. Instruction is whole class, groups, individual. (Keeps changing amongst those three)

7. Organic Classroom is dynamic. Teacher and students collaborate, make course-corrections, re-grouping, re-evaluating all the time.
