As an educator for 15 years, Ive always hated averages. Im a firm believer in the bell curve, the outliers. I have struggled with differentiation because it usually means helping the low kids and leaving the higher kids to fend for themselves. This is THE most influential video I have seen in all my years of inservice and teacher training. Its long (20 minutes) but I recommend watching it. My goal this year is to teach to the edges and never, ever aim for the average.
