Description

Written for teachers who want to know how to differentiate instruction for students with learning difficulties, the second edition of Differentiating Instruction for Students with Learning Disabilities draws upon the bestselling success of the first edition in explicitly showing what differentiated instruction is and how to use differentiated strategies in the classroom. With more concentration on brain-research, multiple intelligence, response to intervention (RTI), tiered instruction, and universal design for learning (UDL), William N. Bender provides the most comprehensive book on differentiated instruction and learning disabilities based on scientific research and with a practical, teacher-friendly approach. An updated reference section, brief "Teaching Tips" side bars, and thought-provoking new feature "Reflections" augment this powerful resource that educators can immediately use in the classroom with all students who have learning disabilities, who are at-risk, and who may have learning difficulties.
