Abstract:
I am a Technology Coordinator. I went to a classroom teacher and asked what she used to support her in differentiated instruction. She sent me this URL. As far as reviewing this site, it is an example of what one school system has done to support differentiated instruction. Don’t try to visit all of the linked sites. Review the idea of a District or Supervisory Union web page with links to websites that support their educational mission.

Justification: (why/how is this a quality resource?)
This site clarifies what the Flemmington-Raritan Regional Schools want their teachers to know about differentiated learning. The site provides teachers with access to methods and materials recommended by their school system that they could use tomorrow, maybe even later today, in the classroom to provide instructional supports to a variety of different student learning needs. Not every link still works, but most do and they provide an effective scaffold for a teacher seeking to learn more about differentiated instruction.
