The document discusses principles of student progress, differentiation, and assessment for learning (AfL) at Hanley Castle High School. It emphasizes that lessons and activities should engage all students at an appropriate level of challenge, through clear objectives, progressive tasks, and different levels of support. Examples are provided of math sequence activities that include scaffolding questions, optional extension challenges to motivate higher-performing students, and a discussion of implementing formative mini-assessments. The overarching goal is for all students to make continued progress through lessons tailored to their needs.
