Abstract
A 'one size fits all' method of teaching falls short of meeting the diverse needs of
students in today's classrooms. This project explores the history, philosophy, principles,
and practice of differentiated instruction and discusses the planning, implementation, and
results of differentiated instruction in the social/emotional, academic, and physical areas
of the kindergarten curriculum. Key themes in the discussion and implementation of
differentiated instruction are the developmental view of education, planning for
individual differences, and using and internalizing knowledge from current research
about the brain, learning, and multi-intelligences to make the paradigm shift necessary to
develop attitudes and curriculum for a child-centered learning environment.
