What encompasses Differentiated Instruction (DI)?

  1. Always giving the same assignments to every student

  2. Providing alternative instructional and assessment activities

  3. Catering exclusively to gifted students

  4. Consistency in teaching methods for every lesson

The correct answer is: Providing alternative instructional and assessment activities

Differentiated Instruction (DI) involves tailoring learning experiences to meet the diverse needs of all students. This approach recognizes that students come with varying backgrounds, readiness levels, learning preferences, and interests. By providing alternative instructional and assessment activities, educators can engage students more effectively and allow them to demonstrate their understanding in ways that align with their strengths. For instance, some students may thrive in a project-based learning environment, while others may excel with traditional tests or creative presentations. This flexibility is essential in creating an inclusive classroom where every student has the opportunity to succeed, ultimately promoting better outcomes for all learners. The other options do not reflect the principles of DI as they suggest a one-size-fits-all approach or focus on a narrow segment of students rather than accommodating the full spectrum of learners in a classroom.
