Dr. Kimberly Kappler Hewitt and Daniel Weckstein, co-authors of the new book, Differentiation is an Expectation: A School Leader’s Guide to Building a Culture of Differentiation talk about the topic of differentiation from the school leader’s perspective – what it is, what it looks like in the classroom, and the improvements in student learning it can provide. As the authors explain in this interview, differentiation in the classroom is not about covering content; it’s about learning content and doing so in a way that reflects how students learn best, not how teachers may prefer to teach.
