In response to the diverse nature of the learners in any one classroom, many teachers have employed the use of differentiated instruction. Central to the tenets underpinning this approach is the idea that all learners enter the classroom with differences in learning abilities, styles, interests, cognitive skills, and life experiences which ultimately determine how they receive and interpret information (Tomlinson, 2017; Prince, 2011; Huebner, 2010; Vygotsky, 1978).
