A useful summary of differentiation and how it can be applied in the classroom.

Kind of disappointed. Not as detailed or helpful as Tomlinson's previous books. Got some information out of it, though. Not too much information about how to put all of these suggestions into practice.

As a new Library teacher struggling to actually teach library lessons. I really was excited to see how I could incorporate this into my classroom. I liked it because it had some larger points but when it comes to actually using it the book was lacking in direction and Ideas.
