The art of differentiation
Description
John Bayley works with two very different teachers on peer observation. Art AST Megan Lister is going to give tips to Spanish teacher Fadhila Hernandez, who's keen to give her students more independence. Fadhila takes great care to encourage the less able students to participate but points out some bright girls who are less engaged. John suggests differentiating from the top. Megan and Fahdila explore how grouping the able students together could enable them to embark on more challenging work. In Megan's lesson, Fadhila sees how the children use a framework of success criteria to judge the skill level of their own work, which gives them the confidence to work independently.
