Differentiation

We will be spending some time this afternoon looking at ways of catering to different levels in the same class, ie differentiation.

For extra background reading, I think you'll find the sites below really interesting, I've been looking through them and can already see some ideas which I'm going to adopt in our multi-level classes here at IH.

Varinder (my Director of Studies) has recommended reading a book called Evidence-Based Teaching by Geoff Petty.



Geoff Petty is regarded as the leading expert in this field. He also runs a site with a huge range of materials, which you can access with this link
