The document discusses best practices for teaching young learners. It addresses whether teaching young learners is significantly different than teaching adults and what activities typically take place in a young learner classroom. Some key considerations for teaching young learners include their shorter attention spans, creativity, and need for movement compared to adult learners. The document also provides examples of activities that can engage young learners and be adapted to use a single sheet of scrap paper for multiple learning activities.
Here are some ways my school is providing differentiated instruction:
- Co-teaching in core content classes with general and special education teachers
- Small group instruction for re-teaching, pre-teaching, enrichment
- Use of visual supports, graphic organizers, manipulatives
- Choice boards and menus to allow student choice and interest
- Flexible grouping for instruction
- Technology supports like audio books, text to speech, speech to text
- Preferential seating and environmental accommodations
- Modified assignments and assessments
- Push-in support from special educators, reading specialists, ESL teachers
- After school tutoring and homework help programs
The document discusses how international school partnerships through the British Council can help raise educational standards. Such partnerships focus on professional development, curriculum collaboration, policy dialogues, and student/teacher exchanges.

The information contained in these slides was shared during NAEYC's 2016 Annual Conference held in Los Angeles, CA November 2-5, 2016. These slides consolidate much of the differentiated instructional information shared by SFL's Director of Early Childhood Education Initiatives, Kamna Seth, and Senior Manager, Gauri Shirali-Deo. The topic presented, Differentiated Instructional Startegies: Meeting the needs of ALL children in early childhood programs, discussed strategies for how inclusive early childhood settings can effectively meet the needs of all students including English language learners, children with developmental delays, and children who need additional enrichment.
Effective teaching methodologies require human values like love and respect, teacher proficiency, and an organizational climate that supports learning. Some key characteristics of effective teaching are creating a democratic and self-disciplined classroom environment, maximizing learning outcomes, and fostering a pleasant atmosphere. There is no single teaching method that works for all situations; teachers should employ various innovative strategies like visualization, cooperative learning, inquiry-based instruction, differentiation, incorporating technology, effective behavior management, and ongoing professional development. The overall goal is to make learning interesting and joyful while developing students' creativity, independence, problem-solving skills, and engagement.
This document discusses innovative pedagogical approaches for nursing education. Traditional teaching methods are examination-oriented and focus only on syllabus content, using one-way lecture-based instruction. Innovative pedagogies aim to shift to student-centered, outcome-based education using technologies like simulation, virtual reality, and online learning. Research shows retention rates are highest when students actively participate through activities like teaching others, practice, discussion, and doing. While pedagogy focuses on teaching children, andragogy principles recognize adult learners are self-directed with life experiences to draw from. The pathway for educators is to guide students from teacher-centered instruction to student-centered learning and ultimately self-directed learning.
This webinar delivered the key principles of online learning and provided best practice examples for course development and design. Intended for educators, trainers and subject matter experts who are developing online learning programs and courses.

Senior leaders acknowledged that historically there had been a lack of focus on Key Stage 3 (KS3) in their schools, with all attention being placed on Year 11 outcomes. They now recognize the importance of the early secondary education years, as what happens in KS3 significantly impacts future results. One headteacher changed his school's philosophy to prioritize KS3, believing it is the "bedrock" of later success and that getting Years 6 through 10 right means Year 11 will then be successful. The document discusses efforts to raise the profile of KS3, including starting a student voice project, better preparing students for exams, and standardizing assessments and homework across departments to mirror GCSEs and emphasize mastery of content at an earlier stage
Teach a teacher to fish teaching as inquiryClaire Amos
The document discusses using a teaching as inquiry approach to implement changes in teaching practice by having teachers focus on an area of student learning or their own practice, plan evidence-based teaching strategies, assess the impact of their teaching, and use the results to inform future practice in an ongoing cycle of improvement. It provides examples of how teaching as inquiry can be applied to improve student outcomes, teacher practice, focus on learning over technology, and integrate thinking, collaboration and differentiation.
Our aim is to differentiate instruction to meet students' individual needs without overburdening teachers. Differentiation involves tailoring lessons through questioning, learning outcomes, tasks, and resources. Teachers currently differentiate well through effective questioning targeted at different ability levels. Differentiation can also involve assigning tasks at bronze, silver, and gold levels to motivate students. Worksheets can be differentiated by making tasks progressively harder. Independent tasks can have different structure and criteria for different ability levels. Differentiation allows all students to achieve a minimum while some have to explain or justify answers further. Observers should see evidence of differentiation in lesson plans.

Measuring student engagement with learning technologyDavid Havens
The nature of education, interaction, and engagement is rapidly changing as new modes of communication and
technologies enter the hands of learners. While teachers are the greatest lynchpin for keeping students and
classrooms engaged, there are many features tech tools can employ to help. For maximum engagement, technology
tools in learning must appeal to social motivation, have opportunities for creativity, personalize the content and
experience, engage a mentor or teacher, and provide interactivity and immediate feedback. Measuring this
engagement must combine insights from both qualitative and quantitative data.
