A note from Ben's Blog.

I had a chance to visit a blog of a friend.  On his blog he made several really good points about differentiation.  The idea that stuck out to me the most was the fair vs. equal chart.   It is important for students and parents to understand the difference between fair vs. equal in a class room setting.  Not all situations in a classroom are going to be equal, but they can be fair.  Children of the same age come in all different shapes and sizes and ability levels.  One student may need more help in math, while that same student excels in science.  That student would get more help in math then they would in science making his/her learning fair and equal.
