Differentiated instruction is a philosophy and an approach to teaching in which teachers and school communities actively work to support the learning of all students through strategic assessment, thoughtful planning and targeted, flexible instruction. This resource is a synthesis of current research and an introduction to the theory and practice of differentiated instruction within an Alberta context. The resource is organized into three parts: the first part includes general information and strategies for differentiating instruction, including why and how; the second part provides ideas for differentiating learning and teaching for specific student groups, including English as a second language learners, students with disabilities, and gifted students; and the third part offers practical, curriculum-specific ideas and strategies for differentiating learning and teaching in English language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science.--Document.

Eric Hanson Albertas first, and arguably greatest, economist wrote a number of influential books on federal-provincial relations, education finance, health care finance, and energy economics. His doctoral thesis was entitled A Financial History of Alberta, 1905-1950 and was found by Paul Boothe at the University of Alberta library while Boothe was doing research on Alberta government spending almost forty-five years after it was written. This "forgotten gem" sheds light on the institutional, economic, and public development of the province from a financial perspective. With a detailed and analytical introduction, this edited work provides historical perspective on the perennial problems facing Alberta's fiscal managers: wildly fluctuating revenues, in-migration, seemingly insatiable demands for infrastructure, high-quality public services, and resistance to taxes while exuding an optimistic attitude for the future.
