This clip really portrays a great example about how differentiation can really turn around learning for students. This school started with low test scores that were devastating to teachers, and then the teachers and school leaders came together to figure out a plan on how to change instruction to make it effective and more helpful for students in their learning process. The change that they saw because of this change they made was wonderful and amazing. The students were becoming more and more successful and this differentiation instruction was making a big difference in each child's life. I love to see how big of a difference differentiation can make. It motivates me to implement this in my classroom.

It's extremely rare to find situations where a whole school "gets it" and can agree on this being an approach to work. While doing my doctorate, I helped with big research project that followed the teachers who were in schools where they were trying to do this... and it is so tough. So, when we find an example like this, it moves me... it's emotional! How lucky for those teachers... and what a blessing for the students!
