That Works: An Educator's
Guide
The ideas presented in this book were drawn from over 45 years in
academia, practising across all continents and operating at all levels: early
childhood, primary, secondary and tertiary. This book aims to equip
teachers with the skill sets, competencies and motivation to enable them to
function comfortably in differentiated environments. Chapter 1 addresses
differentiated teaching, individualised teaching, and streaming together
with differentiating content, process, product and the learning
environment. Chapter 2 addresses key issues in differentiated teaching:
administrative support; teacher preparedness; teacher buy-in; student
readiness; student interest; and learning spaces. The final chapter details
tried-and-tested strategies. Some of these include setting personal learning
goals; set induction; building on what students know; grouping; flipping
the classroom; games; instructional aids; teachable moments; tiered
assignments; model thinking processes; assessment strategies; reflection
and facilitating success. The hope is that the reader would have a wide
assortment of take-aways to enable him to expertly treat any situation with
the comfort of knowing he is fully equipped.
