“Differentiation”

“When you hear that word in a teaching context, what does that mean to you?”

Differentiation makes me think of Montessori classroom and the integration of multiple outlets and mediums to accomplish a particular task. I think of differentiated instruction and think of what I could do or use to help students better understand the context of what I’m trying to teach/accomplish. To be frank, I could be way off base with what this means and could really be thinking of something else. But, to me, differentiated instruction means to connect diverging paths. Hopefully, it also is a means to help students understand a topic better than using my traditional teaching style.
