Differentiated Teaching Strategies; A Book Report Introduction Since the appearance of life on earth, man has always been eager to learn something new. Whether it is how to get heat from light or how to make tools by sharpening stones with the help of stones, there have been attempts to learn more and more. This desire to know more evolved with the passage of time and man realized that with the help of better and tested ways, learning could be made easy. This gave birth to teaching and education. Other researchers have entered this field and discovered the thin line that separates teaching from education. Yes, for most of us these are both interchangeable words, but a closer look at both tells us a different story. Let's talk about it in a little detail; teaching is a phenomenon when a teacher is more interested in giving the lesson and going back. Regardless of knowing how much of the lesson the students grasped. While a teacher when intends to educate students with heart and soul, a true dedication is the first requirement he satisfies besides adopting the appropriate techniques depending on the audience. Differentiated Instructional Strategies: One Size Does Not Fit All by educators and education specialists Gayle H. Gregory and Carolyn Chapman is an attempt in the same direction. Yes, the book focuses on raising the level of learning as high as possible by adopting different techniques for different students. This is an informative and easy-to-use guide written specifically for classroom teachers to introduce them to the differentiated teaching method which involves carefully adapting the curriculum and teaching approaches to the specific and individual learning needs of each student in... . half of the document ......the resource combines practice with the best of learning styles, brain-based learning and multiple intelligence theory to create teaching techniques specific to the high-challenge, low-risk differentiated classroom . In my opinion, it is an important resource for any teacher, new or experienced, who wants to help every student in the classroom learn and succeed. It also changed my perspective on teaching and education paradigms. Previously, I had the idea that a single, comprehensive technique could be applied to all students. But having adopted the ideas and concepts presented in this book, I have come to the conclusion that changes need to be made in teaching and teaching techniques when it comes to truly improving the level of learning.
