The Grosse Pointe Public School System
embraces the various learning styles of our students.
We are proud to offer a
menu of learning options.
Differentiated
Instruction is a philosophy of education that provides appropriate opportunities
for growth and success. Educational research supports the notion
that "one size does not fit all" when it comes to presenting lessons to
our students and even when assessing our students. In
Grosse Pointe
Schools, we have mobilized efforts to ensure that all of our children are
given opportunities for academic growth. While the goal for achieving
our district standards and benchmarks is constant, the route to that goal
may vary according to student need. According to Carol Ann Tomlinson,
professor at the University of Virginia and nation-wide proponent of Differentiated
Instruction, "Fair is when everyone doesn't necessarily get the same. Fair
is when everyone gets what he or she needs!"
