Many schools recognize that students learn best when allowed to construct their
own knowledge at their readiness level (Danielson, 2002). The use of DI is effective in
reaching students in diverse classrooms. DI is effective in improving student learning
(Tomlinson & Germundson, 2007). In this study, I described how regular education
teachers implemented DI in an inclusion classroom within an elementary school, located
in the southeastern United States. This school, wherein teachers are encouraged to
employ DI strategies to meet the needs of all students, provided an ideal platform for
implementing the study. The data collected in this study derived from the research
question: How do regular education teachers at an elementary school in a southeastern
state implement DI for all students in the inclusion classroom? I used teacher interviews,
observations, and teacher lesson plans to identify DI strategies.
