Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check learners’ learning?

Values links

• Differentiation can be achieved through the selection of activities, identification of learning outcomes for a certain student, provision of individual support to learners, selection of learning materials and resources based on the individual abilities of leaners (Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Gardner).
• extend modelling and drilling sequences with some groups
• seek extended answers from some learners e.g. ask some learners to introduce to other learners

• Use this section to record the techniques that you will use to assess what the learners have learned during the lesson.
• Мonitoring response to prompts and instructions

• Values links: being polite to others
