Enacting Differentiation in the Teacher Education Classroom

Practical Strategies for Modeling and Reflection
Supporting teacher educators in integrating Differentiated Instruction into their courses with strategies for modeling DI, pre-assessment, faculty development, and reflection, this book provides practical tools to enhance educator expertise and prepare preservice teachers for diverse classrooms.

Enacting Differentiation in the Teacher Education Classroom: Practical Strategies for Modeling and Reflection explores the vital role of Differentiated Instruction (DI) in teacher education programs, offering practical strategies for integrating DI into courses across the program. It provides actionable tools and strategies for preparing future educators to meet the diverse needs of all students through engagement with and reflection on inclusive teaching practices.

Grounded in the understanding that preservice teachers need to see classroom instructional practices explicitly modeled, Sarah E. Pennington demonstrates how differentiation can be woven into teacher preparation programs in purposeful, authentic ways. By engaging with examples, strategies, and guided reflections, teacher educators can better prepare future teachers to respond to the diverse needs of all learners.

This book recognizes the challenges of teaching DI in higher education settings and offers practical, ready-to-use tools that can be applied across different content areas and program structures. Through a balance of theory, practice, and reflection, it supports teacher educators in both their individual courses and their broader programmatic efforts to foster inclusive teaching practices.
