Differentiation in Practice was a hard read. Each chapter was a detailed description of a unit in which differentiation was used by a teacher. Although there were interesting ideas, the book contained far too much detail for the average teacher. Do I really need to read a 45 page chapter about how a middle school teacher on a block schedule spent six weeks teaching the Pythagorean theorem? No. Why did I? Good question.

The answer is partly my desire to go beyond the somewhat vague theory in other books and get to some specifics. The other part of the answer is a little OCD on my part. This book is probably best used as a reference resource. A teacher can find a chapter related to their own subject matter, do a little skimming, and get a few ideas.
