Definition

  • Despite the belief held by many in the field of education, differentiation is not a new term. Differentiation, used in education for decades, refers to the practice of deliberately changing or modifying with forethought the content, practice activities, projects, tests, assessments, and/or learning environment for a student or group of students, based on their academic, affective, and/or learning needs.
