Welcome to another powerful episode of the Grit & Grace Podcast!

We’re breaking down the principles and practices of Differentiated Instruction (DI)—and how research from leading experts like Dr. Vicki Gibson, Dr. Jan Hasbrouck, and Climbing the Ladder of Reading & Writing can shape the way we teach reading and writing.

Also featured: a practical deep dive into It’s Possible! by Montgomery & Hanlin, giving educators real-world strategies to implement small-group instruction, respond to assessment data, and ensure every learner gets what they need to thrive.

📌 In this episode:

How to use DIBELS, Aimsweb, or Acadience data to form responsive groups

Why explicit instruction matters more than ever

Sample lesson templates, performance profiles, and “grab-and-go” leadership tools

Equity, not equality, as the foundation of effective instruction

🛠️ Perfect for teachers, coaches, and school leaders!
