ABSTRACT
This chapter presents composite case studies that offer insight about how secondary administrators were successful in instituting, motivating, and sustaining differentiated instruction in their schools. They faced the same problems that you face in your school: funding, reluctance to change, the tyranny of the “Big Test,” lack of time, and rigidity in scheduling. They attribute their successes to the following:
Long range planning and patience with change:
Cultivating a positive school climate
Effective use of consultants
An attitude of professional encouragement and communication
