DIFFERENTIATION
“Teachers planning and executing

anticipation of differences in student learning.”
(Tomlinson, 1996)
An intelligence is the ability to solve problems, or to create products, that are valued within one or more cultural settings.
Gardner, H. (1983). Frames of Mind. New York: Basics Books. pp. x
“An intelligence is a
biological and psychological
potential; that potential
is capable of being realized
to a greater or lesser extent
as a consequence of the
experiential, cultural, and
motivational factors that
affect a person.”From: Gardner, H. (1995). Reflections on multiple intelligences, Phi Delta Kappan, 202
