Today's classrooms are like airport hubs; students arrive from many different backgrounds and are headed for various destinations. Their particular takeoffs into adulthood will demand different flight plans and require several ways in which to instruct and assess each plan (Heacox, 2002).
It is important to differentiate instruction and meet each students needs. By meeting each student's learning readiness level, learning style, and interest, through differentiation, the students will be able to succeed to their maximum capacity and strive for success. A smooth take-off is a good beginning.
