Differentiated instruction

One lesson, planned for the whole range.

CARL plans the whole range from a single lesson, not three separate preps: scaffolds for the students who need a ramp, extensions for the ones ready to push, and you decide what each learner gets.

The honest version

What CARL’s differentiation actually is

Here’s the honest version, straight from real generated documents. What generates alongside the lesson is guidance and options, scaffolds and extensions in the facilitator guide, UDL and language pathways on the enhancement sheet, so you decide what each learner gets. What doesn’t happen is the same worksheet quietly re-levelled behind your back.

Scaffolds, in every facilitator guide

oral rehearsal first, sketch or sort before writing, a worked example, chunked steps, a pre-drawn model for the students who need the ramp.

Extensions that aren’t busywork

compare two approaches, justify a choice, transfer the skill to a new context.

UDL pathways, on the enhancement sheet

multiple ways to access the content and to show understanding, without lowering the rigor.

Language and ELL supports

language frames, visuals, home-language connections, and the option to answer by writing, by a labelled diagram, or by a recorded voice note.

Accessibility options

tactile, visual, and audio ways in, framed as standard practice so no student is singled out.

A real example

A real example, top to bottom

The Earth Beneath Us set above is differentiated in every direction: two grade levels sharing one investigation, grade-specific tasks and success criteria, a shared Grades 3-5 worksheet, and an enhancement sheet that spells out the UDL, ELL, and accessibility pathways in plain teacher language. Open it and read the differentiation for yourself, it’s not a claim, it’s the receipt.

No profiles needed

Without profiling a single student

CARL differentiates from the class-level context you describe, a wide reading range, four ELL students at different stages, not from student records; it’s designed to work without them. Matching supports to individual students and their plans stays with you, where it belongs. No student names, no personal data, by design.

FAQ

Questions teachers ask first.

Yes. Scaffolds, extensions, UDL pathways, and language supports generate with every lesson, from one class context.
No. The differentiation comes as guidance and options in the facilitator guide and enhancement sheet, and you decide how to apply it.
Describe your class once. After that, the differentiation options ride along with every lesson.
No, and it shouldn’t. AI can be wrong, sometimes confidently, so every draft is yours to review: CARL drafts the spread, you assign the paths, and nothing reaches students without you.
