1. Create a toolkit/resource book of differentiation strategies that can be used to ensure that students have access to effective instruction in your classroom. Your toolkit should be divided into the following categories:
1. Differentiation by process

Within each section, be sure to indicate which strategies pertain to learning styles, abilities, interests/knowledge of students, as well as which tier in the RTI model each applies to.
You should have 5-10 strategies in each of the 3 categories above. Be sure that each strategy is explained in detail, and be sure to cite all of your sources. Read through the rubric before you begin so you know what is expected and how you will be graded.
