I attended a workshop by Ms. Heacox. Since I can’t have her come help me in my classroom, I got this book instead. It’s excellent for all grade levels. A great resource for the basics of how to differentiate and why.

Another differentaition guide, this one completely focused on the practical, everyday needs of teachers and students in a differentiated classroom. Be sure to get the CD, which contains templates that can be adapted to individual needs. It is especially handy for teachers who don’t have the time to create everything themselves (all of us).
Heacox gives brief, to the point examples of differentiation strategies and situations and then provides classroom tested templates for meeting the needs of a wide variety of learners. I LOVE the Integration Matrix.
