Teaching Methods - Differentiation An earnest observer of human beings eventually realizes that there are many types of intelligence and that different people have different skills, needs and knowledge. Differentiation is based on that realization and celebrates it. Abandoning more rigid methods of teaching, Differentiation consciously sets out to discover and use the uniqueness of each student, which can cause valuable critical transformations in teaching and allow teachers to recognize and
