differentiated education
It is an education that aims to raise the level of all students, not students who have stumbling blocks in academic achievement. It is a concept that takes into account the characteristics of the individual, his previous experiences, and its main goal and ultimate goal is to increase the potential and capabilities of students.
In differentiated education, teachers define clear frameworks for their curriculum, in a way that suits the students' styles, taking into account their different spectrums and their differences in many details. There is no doubt that all students have the same educational goal, passion for development and reaching the highest peaks of excellence and success. But the teaching approach differs depending on how the students prefer to learn. Instead of using a single instructional approach that is generalized to all students, the teacher in differentiated instruction uses a variety of methods. This can include teaching students in small groups or in one-on-one sessions.
As a teacher, and over the years of my teaching career, I have noticed that in every classroom, there are students who have completely different learning styles than the others. Some learn best by reading and writing. Others prefer watching a video clip or listening to an audio recording, and others show their abilities when they participate in live activities during the lecture.
