EducationDifferentiated Instruction & Assessment4HighTeacher$ implied

A middle school English teacher is overwhelmed by the wide range of student reading levels and English language proficiency, and lacks the time, training, or resources to provide appropriate instruction without doing the work for them.

Generic grade-level materials and one-size-fits-all instruction do not address the needs of students reading at first-grade level or English language learners, leaving teachers to manually adapt lessons without adequate support.
