How does American educational system try to recognize individual difference and abilities?

The American educational system recognizes individual differences and abilities through various means such as standardized testing, differentiated instruction, special education programs, gifted programs, and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). Schools may also use assessments and observations to identify students' strengths and weaknesses, and provide support tailored to their needs. Additionally, initiatives like Response to Intervention (RTI) help address diverse learning needs among students.
