Brimijoin, K., Marquissee, E., & Tomlinson, C. A. (2003). Using data to differentiate instruction. Educational Leadership, 60(5), 70–73.

The data-based approach to differentiation gets the treatment in this article. The authors suggest using the assessment data made available by the drive toward yearly standards to create an effective learning environment for more students. Under discussion are “three-dimensional data collection” and the use of assessment information to target learner needs, among much else. 

Wormeli, R. (2006). Differentiating for tweens. Educational Leadership, 63(7), 14–19.

This interesting piece lays out a number of strategies for engaging and teaching pre-teen students. Included are notes on allowing more than one way for students to reach yearly standards, teaching to individual student needs, and a rather inventive lesson on the perils of plagiarism.

Benjamin, A. (2002). Differentiated instruction: A guide for middle and high school teachers. Eye on Education. 

This book-length work details the initial process, foundations, and effective execution of classroom differentiation in middle and high school. Included is a useful section on differentiation for English language learners (ELL), which details specific examples of English instruction for students from various cultures and language traditions.

Huber, J. J. (2010). Culturally responsive differentiated instruction [PowerPoint presentation]. 2010 AEMP Education Forum, Los Angeles Unified School District.

These PowerPoint slides offer ruminations, research, and impetus for those seeking to create a differentiated learning environment in their classrooms. Included are keys to the differentiated classroom, as well as notes on the timing of change and tips for effective planning and implementation. 

Willoughby, J. (2000). Differentiating instruction: Meeting students where they are.

This brief but informative online resource combines a practical definition of differentiation and a step-by-step formula for laying out its foundations in the classroom. A table suggesting various strategies for differentiation based on content, process, and product is also on hand.
