ways to differentiate instructions:
content
Students who are unfamiliar with a lesson could be required to complete tasks on the lower levels: remembering and understanding. Students with some mastery could be asked to apply and analyze the content, and students who have high levels of mastery could be asked to complete tasks in the areas of evaluating and creating.
process
provide materials for each learning style: visual, auditory and kinesthetic, and through words
product
access students according to their learning styles: through tests, projects, reports, or other activities.
learning environment
individual time
group work
quiet spaces

why necessary: every student has an individual learning style. Chances are, not all of your students grasp a subject in the same way or share the same level of ability.

How do I make a referral?
School policy
involve parents
communication via email/personal visits
exchange information about the student
figure out what works at home and at school
create consistent learning environment at home and at school
involve school recourses
