Tomlinson's Differentiation Model

Tomlinson's Differentiation Model is an educational approach that acknowledges students have diverse learning needs, interests, and readiness levels. It encourages teachers to tailor their instruction—such as modifying activities, content, or assessments—so each student can learn most effectively. The goal is to create a flexible learning environment where all students are challenged appropriately, engaged, and can achieve their potential by addressing individual differences within the same classroom.
