Differentiating instruction involves responding to diverse learners' needs by offering choices in content, process, and product. Research shows a significant engagement gap among students, with many reporting boredom due to uninteresting, irrelevant, or improperly leveled material. Effective differentiation is essential to accommodate various backgrounds and learning styles, facilitating student success through flexible grouping, resource diversity, and multimedia engagement.
