•  Accommodations vs. Modifications
• Accommodations are services that help students gain full access to class content and instruction
• Modifications are made when content expectations are altered and the outcomes expected from a student change.
  
•  Differentiating Instruction Tip for Teachers: Select the easiest approach first. Accommodations should not interfere with instructing the whole class, and a teacher should choose the successful method that requires the least time and effort (i.e. circling special questions for a student rather than creating a separate worksheet).
  
• Scaffolding is a support by a teacher or peer that helps a student develop problem-solving skills and bridge the gap between "current abilities and the intended goal" (Roseshine & Meister, 1992).
