By address student readiness,
interests, and learning styles, teachers can differentiate
the curriculum through content, process, and product.
CONTENT:
Content refers
to the knowledge and skills students are to learn.
Differentiating content requires that students be pre-tested.
Some students require direct instruction while other students who
already understand the concept can quickly become engaged in
accelerated studies, independent learning, or experiments and inquiries.

- Learning Centers and
Learning Stations

PROCESS:
Process
refers to student engagement. Students are provided with
alternative strategies for processing information.

- Venn Diagrams
- Concept Webs

PRODUCT:
Process refers
to student engagement. The complexity of the product is varied
so that students are challenged. Students become motivated when
they are offered a choice in the product they create.
