Laura – DRIPPING SPRINGS ISD (verified owner) – July 6, 2020

I liked the second half of this book the most, because it provides helpful strategies easy to implement in the classroom. The beginning of the book was more philosophical reasoning for differentiation. I already buy into differentiation, so I found the practical portion to be my favorite.
