This book undertakes the daunting task of providing a coherent understanding of the complexities of providing individualized education. The author draws from prior research, theoretical frameworks, and historical precedents to outline an empirically sound approach to this pressing need. The approach explicated in this volume provides a comprehensive toolkit for educators hoping to shepherd a new era of educational equity. By considering the historical context of educational provision, the book first lays bare the deeply-rooted structural impediments to accommodating diverse learning styles. The book then offers researchers and practitioners alike a critical examination of current approaches to classification and instruction. Drawing upon educational psychology, measurement theory, and curriculum development, it cogently synthesizes the research literature in order to present a multitude of methodologies for the organization of both students and educational content. In so doing, the author provides a foundation for educators to approach the task of individualization with skepticism towards both traditional and overly simplistic approaches. This book will not only transform the way we think about individualized instruction, it may well signal the start of a new era within the field itself.
