Event Details
We are delighted to be invited back (this time in person) to Brillantmont International School to deliver a programme which has been designed for teachers working with students ages 13-18 years.
Drawing on recent and relevant research into student learning and classroom practice, will help us;
- To explore overarching principles of differentiating learning for all students
- To consider approaches and strategies to match teaching to the learning needs of all students
- To work collaboratively to apply and further develop ideas in the classroom – enabling teachers to share practice
Programme Overview
- Purpose and importance of differentiating learning
- Approaches to differentiation centred on:
- Content – building on prior knowledge, using subject substantive and disciplinary knowledge to build sequential learning, modelling and scaffolding to support all learners
- Process – using formative assessment to engage and inform learners of the next steps.
- Product – identifying clear and consistent expectations for outcomes – applying principles of growth mindset.
- Learning environment – how ethos and physical environment can be adapted to support learning and individual learners (for example the purpose of displays to the importance of classroom climate).
- Applying the approaches
- Planning via backward design processes
- Conscious practice – identifying specific skills and ideas to practice in your own classroom
- Summarising and presenting your own learning on differentiation to peers
Participants will engage in a range of collaborative learning approaches during the 2 days, working in small groups to explore principles and approaches, and then apply this by undertaking collaborative planning activities and presenting an overview of their learning to each other.
The 2-day programme will also encourage participants to develop a ‘learning community
