Teaching Up to Reach Each Learner (Quick Reference Guide)

Learn the basics of "teaching up"--an instructional approach built on the conviction that all students are smart and benefit from being taught as "smart kids" are taught. Teaching up means planning lessons to engage and challenge the most eager and advanced learners and then providing varied scaffolds that allow all learners to access those lessons and complete them successfully. In a classroom where the teacher teaches up, every student enjoys a rich and relevant curriculum and does complex and important work.

In this quick reference guide, bestselling author Carol Ann Tomlinson makes the case for teaching up and explains its key components. You'll find guidance to help you maximize the meaningfulness of required curriculum, strategies for planning and scaffolding instruction, examples of teaching up from different grade levels and content areas, and tips for getting started and sustaining success.

Students arrive in our classrooms with a range of accomplishments, interests, strengths, and needs. Teaching up is the practical, ethical, and equitable response to this reality--and an essential engine for effective differentiation.
