Effective classroom and behavior management is the backbone of a thriving learning environment. It goes beyond maintaining order by establishing a foundation for optimal learning and personal growth for students.

Exploring the promise of the differentiated classroom is the promise that all students will feel a sense of belonging, engagement, and support from their teachers. The goal of differentiated instruction is to help teachers understand how they teach is just as important as what they teach. Improving student achievement and future outcomes for all students depends on planning for student differences in the classroom.
