Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) are at the center stage in the education reform movement. To meet the unique learning needs of all students regardless of ability level, it is imperative that teachers differentiate their instruction. With this approach, students get to learn in a way that makes information retention easier and it provides teachers with a higher level of flexibility.
