16 DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION STRATEGIES
                     16 DIFFERENTIATED 
INSTRUCTION 
STRATEGIES
Every student has their own preference 
and understanding of the learning 
processes. When a teacher adopts 
different types of instructions based on 
their student’s capabilities and potential, 
then the process is known as differentiated 
instruction. This advanced process of 
imparting education among the students is 
very beneficial. It analyzes the content, 
processes, products, and the learning 
environment of the students.
CREATE LEARNING STATIONS
Provide varied content to the 
students by dividing the 
classroom into various stations. 
Each station can contain the 
content that caters to the needs 
and preferences of a particular 
group of students at the day 
or boarding schools especially 
girls boarding school in Dehradu
n
. Students can also rotate 
through these stations and learn 
about various processes.
USE TASK CARDS
Task cards are beneficial in 
providing students with a 
variety of content. Conduct 
group activities in which the 
students can be encouraged to 
answer the various task cards. 
Divide the class into groups to 
complete a particular task. 
Through this method, you can 
introduce a diversity of the 
content in the classrooms as 
opposed to the large-group 
learning in the traditional 
classroom environments.
TARGET DIFFERENT SENSES WITH LESSONS
Try to improve your lesson imparting 
process by introducing more resources. 
You can use videos, infographics, charts, 
graphs, recorded sounds, and 
audiobooks, role-playing, or giving both 
spoken and written directions. Simply 
lecturing the students as per the 
conventional practices is not enough to 
keep them engaged.
INTERVIEW STUDENTS
To know about the individual needs and 
preferences of the students engage in 
frequent interviews with them. When 
deciding the stations in the classrooms, take 
the students aside and learn more about their 
learning styles. Through this method, you can 
analyze the needs of your class and introduce 
new content.
SHARE YOUR OWN STRENGTH 
AND WEAKNESSES
Interact with the students and share 
your experiences and strategies with 
them. Tell them about the areas in 
which you struggled and how you 
overcome them and what solutions 
you applied for the same. The students 
will feel encouraged and more 
connected to the instructor because of 
this.
USE THE THINK-PAIR-SHARE 
STRATEGY
Encourage the students to share their 
doubts or provide their perspective on 
a particular topic. Pair the students 
show they can share their points of 
view with each other. Also, tell each 
pair of the students to collaborate 
with other couples and discuss the 
topic and share their collective 
opinions to the classroom.
IMPLEMENT REFLECTION AND 
GOAL SETTING EXERCISES
Ask the students to reflect on the 
essential lessons and set personal 
goals in the process. Encourage the 
students to engage in self-
introspection and note down their 
favorite topics. They can also then 
use this data to work on themselves 
and improvise their skills.
GIVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF 
FREE STUDY TIME
Free study time in an exciting 
manner can generate more 
understanding among the 
students. You can provide 
books with relevant materials 
and also make stations with 
some challenging tasks. Also, 
make sure that you allocate a 
quiet place for the students 
who wish to study in their free 
time.
