The seventeenth book that I’ve finished reading this year is Sue Cowley’s “The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation”. It serves well as an introductory book, providing some general differentiation methods for starter teachers. What I really took away from this book is that in order to differentiate successfully, teachers need to know their students well. It is precisely for this reason that teachers need to find out for themselves more specific methods of differentiation that will work for their students. Either way, I would recommend this book to anyone who’s interested in a teaching career as it provides a good sense of what a teacher will face in the classroom.
