Students cannot be compared to one another; each one comes to the classroom with unique thoughts, ideas, needs, and strengths. There is no such thing as a start or finish line within a classroom because students come from various learning backgrounds. Because of this, I am obligated to ensure that learning is accessible and challenging for all students. In order to provide differentiated instruction, I will create and implement lessons that appeal to individual learning levels, as well as scaffolding based on strengths and needs within the classroom community. While I hold high expectations for all of my students, I am aware and understand that success will look different for each child. "If kids come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy, functioning families, it makes our job more important." -Barbara Colorose
