The aim of this programme is to demonstrate the planning and use of inclusive strategies to meet the needs of all learners in a group.

What you'll see is how tasks and exercises can be adapted to suit the different skill levels within a mixed ability group.

This module will help you to:

• Explain what differentiation means in the context of teaching a class.
• Decide an appropriate classroom layout for the session you are delivering.
• Recognise the needs of individual learners and take account of these in planning a session.
• Plan a session to include appropriately differentiated activities to meet the learning needs of individual students.
• Evaluate the success of a session from the learner's point of view.
