A Professional Learning Communities Approach “Supporting Differentiated Instruction provides clarity with common-sense approaches and offers practical activities to marry the practice of differentiated instruction into the professional learning community model.” —Paul Farmer, Professional Learning Communities at Work™ associate, Fairfax, Virginia
“Through the lens of effective collaboration, the authors provide us with a good balance of research-based best practice and easily accessed practical strategies for embedding differentiation as a part of daily instruction. Their approach demystifies differentiated instruction, setting teachers up to improve upon their instructional practice, which leads to our ultimate mission, high levels of learning for all students.” —Kenneth Williams, author and speaker, Unfold the Soul, Tyrone, Georgia Teaching is no longer a private practice, and teachers now recognize that learners have differences in knowledge, interests, and preferred learning styles. Supporting Differentiated Instruction: A Professional Learning Communities Approach harnesses the power of professional learning communities (PLCs) with differentiated instruction in a pragmatic approach to better support teachers and better reach students. In practical, conversational language, authors Robin J. Fogarty and Brian M. Pete supply a blueprint for success for teaching all K–12 learners.
