Re-thinking Differentiation: Discover Fresh Insights in Order to Overcome the Age Old Problem (Primary)
Delivered by Dragonfly Training, this three-hour interactive course will address differentiation in the primary classroom, equipping you with strategies to challenge and support all pupils. This course will take place on 9 March at 9.30-12.30 GMT (UK time).
Description
- Do you want to know what ‘adaptive teaching’ is and how it could revolutionise your approach to differentiation?
- Do you want to know how to implement classroom-based strategies that challenge and support all pupils?
- Do you want to see differentiation as integral to quality teaching rather than a ‘bolt on’ gesture?
There is no question that differentiation as an issue crops up time and again as an area requiring continued development in schools – hundreds of Inspection reports tell us this. It is also true that it is often seen as impossible to differentiate effectively for all pupils! However, by re-thinking what it actually is and by re-thinking what we do in the classroom it becomes possible to differentiate in a way that is both highly effective and highly sustainable.
Course outcomes:
• Understand an approach to differentiation that is based on the model of ‘adaptive teaching’
• Experience classroom-based scenarios that allow differentiation to happen
• Learn how to ensure the strategies pass the ‘acid test’ for differentiation: are all pupils appropriately challenged?
• Leave the course enthused and energised with increased confidence in your ability to differentiate for all
