Differentiation

​As we approach October and the first parent-teacher conferences of the school year, we often hear parents ask us, "What does differentiation mean?" 

At River City Christian School, we pride ourselves on providing individualized instruction for each student. Differentiation is a teaching method that adjusts the instruction textbook manufacturers intended to meet the needs of individual students. It includes providing multiple ways for students to learn a topic and express their understanding. 

Our educators accomplish this through tailored instruction and adjusting the content utilized to teach a topic, allowing them to provide different ways for students to take in information. Our flexible approach to instruction allows for modification of coursework and, where needed, accommodations to help each student succeed.
