Differentiation is an important component of a lesson plan, because it guides the teacher in how to meet the diverse needs of all students during instruction. The planning process will help the teacher determine when and how to differentiate. It is critical for teachers to observe or review academic data to appropriately differentiate for their students. Sometimes, there can be great discrepancies between formative and summative data with individual students. Students may demonstrate mastery of concepts on formative assessments, but do not demonstrate mastery with bringing it all together in a summative assessment.
Differentiation includes a full spectrum of accommodations and modifications, in order to enrich or remediate to meet the needs of the diverse students. Gifted and high achieving students are often overlooked when it comes to differentiation, but are no less important than the student who needs intervention. As part of the planning process, it is important to consider enriching the learning experiences for gifted and high achieving students. Enrichment does not mean more work; it means creating opportunities for students to develop deeper levels of understanding.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
