Differentiation in Elementary?

Differentiation in Elementary?

 In a traditional classroom, students enter with a certain set of learning dispositions. Some students are auditory learners - meaning that they absorb information best when it is "told" to them. Other students prefer to have information processed visually. These learners are left needing visual stimulation in order to assist in their learning. Students who are visual may need a handout or a visual representation of what they are learning to help them understand the material. Kinesthetic learners must touch - feel - see - hear the information in order to best learn the material. Regardless of what type of learner a teacher has in the classroom, it is best for the teacher to present the information in a differentiated format to ensure that their needs are being met.
