And they practice what they preach – the information and examples speak to someone just beginning to differentiate instruction as well as the expert who wants to further refine his or her craft." -Douglas Fisher, Professor San Diego State University "The extensive emphasis on technology, case studies, and lesson plans throughout the book provide a rich resource to the readers of this exciting text. Administrators, university instructors, and staff developers will find this a valuable tool to support their students and colleagues on their differentiation journey." -Mary Falvey, Retired Dean and Professor Emeritus California State University, Los Angeles
