Approaching a diverse group of learners requires adjusting the relevant teaching strategies to meet unique needs of each learner. Therefore, a teacher needs to incorporate differentiation into the range of strategies to integrate into the classroom context and ensure that all learners are provided with equal opportunities. However, the excessive focus on differentiation may lead to the teacher’s inability to assess the efficacy of the actual learning process and define whether students have acquired the necessary skills. Therefore, a careful balance between the promotion of differentiation and the encouragement of learning must be found.
To address the described concern, differentiation must be integrated into the learning framework as an extension of the support system for students. As a result, students will gradually develop the ability to manage provided tasks without the assistance of differentiated instructions, therefore, acquiring the necessary skills and developing at the necessary pace. With the focus on students’ individual needs and the importance of building independence in learning, a teacher will be able to guide them toward consistent improvement. However, for this purpose, certain sacrifices regarding differentiated instructions must be made, which implies that a teacher will have to avoid using differentiation strategies as a learning crutch.
