Detailed templates for differentiated lessons

Another practical differentiation guide from Carol Ann Tomlinson. More than an introduction, this book contains lesson plans for a variety of middle school subjects. For each subject, you can look at a complete instructional unit. Teachers looking for a step-by-step guide to creating differentiated lessons, look no further. I have to say, the first unit I designed this way took FOREVER. Don't get discouraged on the first lesson and don't think you have to differentiate everything right out of the box (the mistake I made the first time).
