Neurodevelopmental Differentiation
$49.95
As classroom teachers know firsthand, it is critical for K–12 students to be able to extend their learning. But expecting all students to attain the same performance via generalized instruction is unrealistic. Educators must honor and leverage students’ unique learning strengths to support students and expand their possibilities for success.
In Neurodevelopmental Differentiation: Optimizing Brain Systems to Maximize Learning, authors Andrew Fuller and Lucy Fuller explain that by understanding the brain’s eight information-processing systems—(1) spatial reasoning, (2) perceptual and motor skills, (3) concentration and memory, (4) planning and sequencing, (5) thinking and logic, (6) people smarts, (7) language and word smarts, and (8) number smarts—educators can help students apply their processing strengths to areas that challenge them using individualized learning plans. With this approach, learners’ growth is limitless.
Readers will:
Study the eight brain information-processing systems and understand how developing strengths in these areas increases academic success
Discover how to identify students’ learning strengths and blockages
Learn how to develop individualized learning plans to fit the needs of all students
Review templates for recording and tracking student progress
Contemplate reflective questions on the eight brain areas to determine next steps in their classrooms

Differentiating the Curriculum
$39.95
In mixed-ability classrooms, it is inevitable that students will have different learning styles, backgrounds, prior knowledge, experience and willingness to learn. While teachers may be unable to change the content prescribed by their school, they have an enormous amount of control in the way they assign this content to their students.
Differentiating the Curriculum: Supporting Teachers to Thrive in Mixed-Ability Classrooms adopts the principles of the Pirozzo Model, which offers six approaches teachers can use to effectively implement differentiation in their classroom.
The Pirozzo Model consists of the following strategies:
Ability Grouping
Cooperative Learning Teams
Learning Contracts
Learning Centres
Multi-age Grouping
Individual Learning Plans
Based on the author’s extensive work with over 20,000 educators, the Pirozzo Model is a dynamic teaching tool that empowers teachers with six different approaches to maximising student learning potential.
