With Leadership For Differentiating Schools & Classrooms, Carol Tomlinson and Susan Allan effectively collaborate to explore how school leaders can develop responsive, personalized, and differentiated classrooms. Differentiation is simply a teacher attending to the learning needs of a particular student or small group of students, rather than teaching a class as though all individuals in it were basically alike. A timely and important contribution to today's reinvigorated national discussion on educational policies and classroom practices at the national, state and local levels, Leadership For Differentiating Schools & Classrooms reveals how school leaders can encourage and support growth in our classrooms.
