Differentiation helps to ensure that the way you teach and what you teach match learners' needs. Pupils have diverse needs and there are many potential barriers to learning. Effective teachers need to ensure that they offer the same learning opportunities to all pupils.
Differentiation is not just about raising the standards of underachieving pupils. Differentiated approaches aim to raise the standards of all pupils.
key issues in differentiation
- Cater for EVERY student. – Treat them all individually, they each have their own needs
- Look at ALL the needs of ALL the pupils
- Seek advise and collaborate with other teachers for students with ‘special’ needs
- Build relationships with each pupil
- Activley group students of different levels
- Try different teaching approaches, not just teacher led.
