In this DVD, researcher and author Robert J. Marzano presents a framework for observing classroom instruction based on the questions and frameworks he first laid out in The Art and Science of Teaching. Marzano presents a detailed observation protocol and demonstrates how to use it, not only as a tool for analysing classroom instruction but also as a starting point to encourage professional dialogue among teachers. This is an essential tool for supervisors, administrators, coaches, and teacher leaders, and PLC's.

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.
