Teachers differentiate to three major considerations: readiness, interest, and learning profile. Matching instruction to students' readiness correlates strongest with academic growth, according to research. "Learning profile is a fluid concept that includes how culture, gender, intelligence preference, and learning style might influence how a student approaches learning. Carol Tomlinson is quick to clarify that learning profile is not a synonym for learning style. The "learning styles" approach to teaching has received a lot of criticism of late – particularly from three groups, Tomlinson told attendees at her ASCD Annual Conference session on the controversial topic." You may find the slides that go with this article on her website: http://www.caroltomlinson.com/Presentations/2012ASCD_LearningStyleControversy.pdf ; (The image is the first slide.)

"Failure is such an uncomfortable topic in education. We are very failure adverse and consequently risk adverse. It is often seen as unacceptable for students to fail and this avoidance of failure is not mirrored in the real world beyond the safe environments of the school. I believe that we must use failure or getting stuff wrong as a tool for learning, that we must accept it as a part of the learning process, that we must use it to progress and develop. We should and must strive to succeed, but we need to allow opportunities for students to learn from their mistakes and in fact to provide opportunities for them to make mistakes."
