Fools try to differentiate between us. Fools succeed with fools. Be wise. Can you separate the wave from the ocean? Can the light be separated from the flame? Can you separate the sunbeams from the sun or the fire from its warmth? The fruit comes fron the seed and gives seeds to get more fruit. Nature is all encompassing and never differentiates. Only foolish mankind differentiates. -- Ruzbeh N. Bharucha, from The Fakir

"It is important for all educators to view differentiation as a philosophy and then to assess the manner and degree to which differentiation occurs within each classroom. It is also important to realize that teachers will vary along the lines of a continuum in their expertise in knowing how to differentiate in the teaching and learning environment. When educators have the time to study their content and to clarify what they want students to know, understand, and be able to do, I often find that the instructional tasks that they design become more meaningful and require students to think more deeply."
Jan Leppein, interview, "Differentiation in the Classroom", from Talent, newsletter for Northwestern's Center for Talent Development, Winter 2006.

To Kill a Mockingbird deals with many different issues during the time of the Great Depression. It talks about justice, fear, race, as well as compassion and forgiveness I love the great quotes in this book associated with these differentiating and complex issues. There’s a list of many of these To Kill a Mockingbird Quotes To Kill a Mockingbird Quotes on Shmoop. The book is also concerned with the gap between the rich and the poor, the blacks and the whites, the haves and have-nots. It displays the difference between the adult world and the world of children, and how difficult it is for children at times to understand the world around them. The fact that the book is written through the eyes of a little girl makes it a real refreshing read.
