Student-Driven Differentiation

Student-Driven Differentiation by Lisa Westman is a practical guide for how to implement differentiated learning in the classroom so that every student may learn according to his or her needs. Westman discusses how to build positive relationships with students, the four areas of differentiation, planning and implementing differentiation strategies, and experiential learning. She also addresses the need to reimagine our schools so we may create learning environments that promote student ownership of the learning process. The target audience for the book is K-12 educators, but the strategies and techniques within this volume are applicable to higher education as well. This is a useful and, at times, thought-provoking volume.
