Description
Summary:At Whitmore Secondary School, Harrow, history teacher James Rebbitt has a wide range of achievement in his class, from pupils with statements of educational need, those with specific learning difficulties and two of the students are on the gifted and talented register. This means that lessons are structured for differentiating the task. This programme follows a lesson about the lives of children in the workhouse and shows how James successfully differentiates for the achievement of all pupils. Within the lesson there is scope for pupils to assess their own levels of competence while James tailors questions to meet the needs of his pupils to determine their level of understanding. We also hear the pupils talking about the teaching styles they prefer and they reveal their preference for mixed achievement groupings so that peer support is enabled.
