This program focuses on how to analyse differentiated learning tasks, plan differentiated lessons, manage a differentiated classroom, and provide all students with the opportunity to learn as much as they can. Teachers in primary, middle, and secondary years settings demonstrate differentiation in their classes and, with expert Carol Ann Tomlinson, explain how to create a differentiated classroom. Differentiating Instruction examines how to create multiple avenues to learning that challenges all students in a mixed-ability classroom.

In every classroom there are students with a wide range of exceptionalities – students with one or more learning problems, students with different interests, students who are very advanced and students without a "label" but whose learning needs are just as unique. How can teachers face this challenge and meet such a variety of student learning needs? Help answer that question and maximise learning for all students with the common-sense approach featured in this new video series. Use the included DVD with the workshops in the accompanying Facilitator's Guide to take teachers inside primary, middle years and secondary classes to show how a differentiated approach can help teachers to maximise their abilities as educators.

In this breakout session from the Professional Learning Communities at Work™ Institute in Boston, Massachusetts (August 28, 2009), Austin Buffum uses engaging stories from his experiences in and out of the classroom to explore how response to intervention (RTI) works in real-life applications. Buffum shows how RTI is most effective when implemented on the foundation of a professional learning community (PLC), as demonstrated in the book he coauthored, Pyramid Response to Intervention: RTI, Professional Learning Communities, and How to Respond When Kids Don’t Learn. To successfully help learners at risk, he suggests, an instructional intervention program must follow the precedent of medical emergency response procedures.
