Alice Thomas, M.Ed. and Glenda Thorne, Ph.D. The Center for Development and Learning The DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION SERIES is a set of six booklets that provides research-based information and strategies for the six primary cognitive processes of learning: Attention Memory Language Higher Order Thinking Processing and Ordering (Organization) Graphomotor (Writing) These six cognitive processes are highly interactive with one another. For example, reading comprehension (a function of language) is greatly affected by attention, memory and higher order thinking. So if a student is having difficulty with reading comprehension, the student’s attention, memory and higher order thinking profiles should be observed and possibly assessed to determine if strategies in these areas will be needed if this student is to experience gains in reading comprehension. Written in a simple, clear style, the booklets are practical and user-friendly. Together, the booklets hold over 150 unduplicated strategies that teachers and parents can readily apply. For that reason, teachers often refer to the booklets as “my toolkit”. What’s in each booklet? Each booklet describes a student who is having difficulty with one of the six processes, examines the components of one process, identifies specific challenges that students have within that process, provides a survey for teachers and parents to identify a student’s areas of strength and challenges within the process, gives practical strategies that help students become more successful with that process, and offers helpful resources.
