Its teaching with student variance in mind. Its responsive teaching rather than one-size-fits-all teaching. Its a teacher reacting responsively to a learners needs. Its shaking up the classroom so students have multiple options for taking in information, making sense of ideas, and expressing what they learn. It means teachers proactively plan varied approaches to what students need to learn, how they will learn it, and / or how they will show what they have learned in order to increase the likelihood that each student will learn as much as possible.

Example of ECR
Look at the figure below. 37cm 48cm 26 cm Step A. If the perimeter of the quadrilateral above is 170 cm, what is the length of the fourth side? Answer: Step B. Explain how you found your answer. Use what you know about perimeter in your explanation. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols in your explanation. Suppose the perimeter of the quadrilateral increases to 202 cm. Explain how much the length of each side would have to increase if the length of all four sides increased by the same amount. Use words, numbers, and/or symbols in your explanation.
