Early Learning Central

Early Learning Central is a great resource for differentiation in the Early Years classroom. They talk about having a deep understanding of the students and an awareness of the stage of readiness that each student is currently in. Each day, we need to think "are the students ready for this lesson?" Quite often, in any class, providing choice is the answer to differentiation. Simply put, kids know what they know and they know what they like. It is a whole lot easier for us to provide choices and see what kids choose and how they perform - than to try to predict every possible outcome and assign work.
