Adjusting content, process, product, or learning environment to meet diverse student needs in the same classroom.
Differentiation, popularized by Carol Ann Tomlinson, is the practice of adapting instruction to meet individual student needs while still meeting common standards. It can target content (what students learn), process (how they engage with it), product (how they show what they learned), or learning environment. Differentiation is responsive teaching — it's not creating 30 lesson plans, but designing one lesson that flexes for many learners.
Heterogeneous classrooms are the norm. A typical 4th-grade classroom spans 3-4 reading levels and similar math gaps. Differentiation is how teachers reach every learner without lowering standards.
