Differentiation and Diversity in the Primary School

Differentiation is a key part of effective teaching; structuring learning experiences to suit the needs of the individual child plays a major part in the quality of the education that child receives. Written by practicing teachers, this collection: examines the definitions and scope of differentiation; looks at the structuring and management of learning activities within the curriculum areas of key stages; shows how teachers can provide equal access to the curriculum for all children while meeting government requirements; discusses issues of assessment; and describes how schools can construct a whole school policy and approach for differentiation.
