I wouldn't say I "really liked it," as 4 stars supposedly indicates, but I learned a lot from this book, mainly what I'm SUPPOSED to be doing as a teacher. Okay, I suppose I do differentiate somewhat, but according to this book, not much.
The book is overwhelming, which is why I give it 4 stars. They do encourage you to start small, though, and with their organizational and management techniques, I could see this program working very well.

I didn't find this book particularly helpful but that's only becuase my district offers a ton of professional development. For someone who's never done curriculum mapping, essential questions in those maps, or differentiation before this is a great starter book. Still, it was a nice little refresher course before I begin the school year and the CD included that comes with premade forms will save me a lot of time and research making up my own materials.

Great book on Differentiation! If you want a very practical guide to implementing differentiation strategy into your daily classroom routine, check out the forth coming book by Diane Heacox, Making Differentiation a Habit from Free Spirit Publishing.
This is the first book for the CCTA Reads Together book club. Planning for the new school year begins tomorrow. Useful and insightful.
such a valuable book. i learned so much from this one text, which changed my teaching methods instantly.
Excellent Book for planning new classroom curriculum or updating a class for a fresh start.

Another differentaition guide, this one completely focused on the practical, everyday needs of teachers and students in a differentiated classroom. Be sure to get the CD, which contains templates that can be adapted to individual needs. It is especially handy for teachers who don't have the time to create everything themselves (all of us).

Pretty good. A lot of la-la, froo-froo, but also some great ideas. The matrices and differentiation ideas led to some great products as I did my homework for the class I read this in.
Good read for a teacher who wants to brush up on differentiating.
