desertcart.com: The Differentiated Classroom: Responding to the Needs of All Learners: 9781416618607: Tomlinson, Carol Ann: Books

Review: This book by Tomlinson is Differentiation 101 -- a classic source for all educators - As a teacher, I have read this book twice: once (1st ed) as "assigned summer reading" for our school's professional development, and most recently (2nd edition) as assigned reading for a class for a masters in curriculum and development for teacher leadership on Differentiated Instruction. No question, ANY teacher learning about differentiated instruction should read Tomlinson -- she is not only one of the primary experts in the area, but she is engaging and readable. While we know teachers are far from lazy about reading (!), they ARE very limited on time, so I say this in all practicality: it is a fast and accessible read with insights that can be put to immediate use. There are a range of books on differentiation by Tomlinson or by others; this title is a good overall entry point to the subject, appropriate for anyone new or intermediate to the subject, or reviewing existing practices. There are other books in Tomlinson's series on differentiation that present more specific strategies for targeted aspects of differentiation; this book is more overview than specific "how to" approaches. In that sense, I recommend this title as a "Differentiation 101" introduction, but I do have other titles that I have found more useful, once I read further. For example, Tomlinson's book on writing rubrics, or subject/grade area titles offer more specific instructions for daily use. I also recommend anything by Rick Wormeli. As much as this book is the "go to" text on differentiation, I found that I was looking for less theory and more on how to identify individual student needs to match them with need-specific approaches. In this sense, I preferred. the book Carol Ann Tomlinson co-wrote with David Sousa: Differentiation and the Brain: How Neuroscience Supports the Learner-Friendly Classroom. My other absolute favorite for identifying and solving individual student needs s M. Searle's Causes and Cures in the Classroom.
Review: Differential classroom book - Very good quality. Came very quickly too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Differential classroom book
*by A***A on September 5, 2025*

Very good quality. Came very quickly too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good overview of the method
*by O***P on May 15, 2016*

This book gave me a lot to think about. After teaching full time for two years, it became obvious that a one size fits all approach was not working. My advanced students were not being challenged. My students who were a little behind were not getting the specific guidance needed. This book gave me some great ideas on how to give each group what they needed. I would have liked more specific detail, but I don't think that was the purpose of this book. It is a great starting point and makes a good case for differentiation. I would have liked more examples of use in higher education (I don't recall any examples.) Overall, a good book that would help any teacher struggling to meet the needs of the different students in their classes.
