A must-have for any science teacher!" "Doug Llewellyn provides yet another insightful book that can be used to improve individual instruction or guide professional development for entire science departments. This book helps teachers provide what each student needs to excel in a manner that can be sustained for years to come. The examples included within provide concrete guidance that can be applied with tomorrow’s first period." "This very readable book beautifully ties together inquiry, motivational strategies and differentiation. With multiple examples of science lessons across disciplines, this important book provides a solid rationale for the importance of differentiated inquiry." "This book deals with two of the most difficult pedagogical challenges science teachers must face: conducting inquiry-based investigations and differentiating instruction. It provides new insight and strategies for creating opportunities for all students to become more engaged. Along with classroom examples, the author provides practical suggestions on how to give students more control of meeting their needs. The result is student motivation and proficiency." "Effective instruction is the goal of every educator, and this excellent resource provides detailed guidance in the use of DSI as the tool to get there."
