Abstract
This review focuses on research related to how teacher education programs prepare preservice teachers for differentiated instruction. The synthesis of research reviewed generated two themes: (a) courses related to differentiated instruction and clinical experiences promote preservice teachers’ readiness for differentiated instruction, and (b) teacher educators’ implementation of congruent teaching or ‘teaching as they preach’ enhances preservice teachers’ preparedness for differentiated instruction. Grounded in these findings, implications for teacher education programs and practitioners are made.
