Confused and frustrated because you have more than one student in your classroom? Do you have the VISION of a differentiated classroom, but don't know how to get there or where to start?

Then join thousands of other teachers in one of the simplest and easiest-to-manage differentiated strategies, - Dr Kathie Nunley's LAYERED CURRICULUM®
.
This website contains all you need to get started designing a unit for your classroom TODAY
The only differentiated instructional method originally designed for
high school classrooms.

(Note that Layered Curriculum can be modified to fit any K-12 classroom and is particularly popular with middle school teachers)

Based on current brain-imaging information, Layered Curriculum is an exciting and effective student-centered teaching method. This 3-layer model of differentiated instruction encourages complex thinking and holds students highly accountable for their learning.

What's In a Layer?

C Layer : : Basic knowledge, understanding. The student builds on his/her current level of core information.   

B Layer : : Application or manipulation of the information learned in the C layer. Problem solving or other higher level thinking tasks can be placed here.

A Layer : : Critical Thinking and Analysis. This layer requires the highest and most complex thought. Create leaders, voters.
