Quotes from Carol Ann Tomlinson

Plan to be better today, but don't ever plan to be finished

In differentiated classrooms, teachers begin where students are, not the front of a curriculum guide.

Teachers craft classrooms that are good matches for their teaching styles as well as for learner needs.

A gifted teacher has an unfailing eye for magical classrooms & loses sleep over anything less than the highest quality.

As a teacher, it is your job to make explicit whatever you though was implicit

Prospective teachers may read about the science of education, but they'll only grasp the art in their early years by seeing it practiced and having it commended to them.

We need teacher educators who regularly spend a great deal of time in classrooms so they have a deep understanding of where they students will teach.

Until a teacher learns to use elements like time, space, materials, groupings, and so forth flexibly, it's incredibly difficult to teach students as they need to be taught.

Acknowledging that students learn on different timetables, and that they differ widely in their ability to think abstractly or understand complex ideas, is no different than acknowledging that students at any given age aren't all the same height. It is not a statement of worth but of reality.

ÖÄŸrenciler gibi, öÄŸretmenler de uygun zorluk derecesinde çal??t?klar?nda ilerleyebilir. Ä°ÅŸe koyulmak için koÅŸullar?n kusursuz bir düzeye gelmesini ya da güveninizin yerine gelmesini beklemek ilerleme deÄŸil, uyuÅŸukluk yarat?r.

As educators we need to understand that there is no finish line in our work.

We can always gain more depth and breadth in our work [as educators]. There are always new discoveries to be made.
