CC’s idea!

7. CMM’s idea!
1. Learning Objectives go here; Add a semicolon after each one as a separator
for other slides; Then click Insert>Header Footer> Apply to all.

8. The Big Picture: Two controlled assessments: 1. Compare and contrast two
types of text 2. Using language features for a particular purpose and audience.
Learning
Objective:
Be able to
write about
the purpose,
audience and
form of the
Center Parcs
Blog
Title: The blog
extract - how
does the
language fit its
purpose and
audience

 Can you now describe the PAFT of
the Blog?
 In pairs write a paragraph on the
PAFT of the BLOG using all your notes.

12. What is ‘differentiation’?
A recap and update from your teacher training days…
• The theory behind differentiated instruction comes from the
views of Vygotsky (1978):
– The social context and the interactions of the student within that
social context play a fundamental role in the acquisition of
knowledge.
– Students in their 'zone of proximal development' can, with
assistance, resolve a problem that they could not have resolved
alone and move on to another level of knowledge.
– Teachers can help accelerate students' cognitive development
(Vienneau, 2005) by supporting children in resolving problems, by
questioning their conceptions, and by asking them to justify their
positions (Lafortune & Deaudelin, 2001). They can also provide
specific interventions, known in this context as 'scaffolding'."

13. Differentiation
STCM Recipe for Learning
Differentiation for access, eg:
- Enlarging texts
- Coloured overlays
- Some seating arrangements
Differentiation to ‘scaffold’ learning, eg:
- Through tasks/activities adjusted to the needs of the learner
- Through checking the learner’s understanding and moving them
onto the next level
- Targeting progress at all levels and abilities within the classroom
Differentiation through ‘outcome’ doesn’t scaffold effectively to the
needs of the learner; it is not a differentiation strategy.

14. A crude, but functional, simplification:
• “Scaffolding” = supporting, stretching
and challenging the learner to secure
knowledge, understanding and skills
• This means putting systems and
structures in place for the above to be
able to take place
• 3 step differentiation to support, stretch
and challenge looks like this...

15. Learning Objective:
• To know details of China’s 1979-1990 One-child
Policy and to recognise its impacts.
• To be able to apply this knowledge and develop
exam skills through answering an 8 mark question.
Big Picture link - Exam question:
Describe how China implemented its One-child Policy in
1979 and discuss the impacts of this. (8 marks)

16. By the end of the lesson you ALL need to…
• Know the rules and regulations of the 1979-1990 One-child
Policy.
• Consider which of these rules were incentives or consequences.
• Decide if this policy had been a success, using both problems
and benefits of the policy.
• Answered an exam style question, and peer assessed these.

19. PCH’s 3-step differentiation
- Set to one learning objective
- Targets needs of learners in classroom using
graded activities (Information, Big Picture)
- Able to check which activities support, stretch
and challenge (Differentiation)
- Check understanding of learning using ‘pit
stops’ (see MJV video on GO Group blog too)
- Has opportunities to move learners onto next
level

CLD’s use of 3-step differentiation:
• Based on knowing the ability of learners to design appropriate task
(Information)
• Still based on same whole-class objective (Learning Focus)
• Graded to support and to stretch learners
• Able to build in questioning prior to starting the task to check that learners
understood the different grading (Assessment Opportunities)
• Used monitoring to confirm grade of task chosen was suitable, or re-
designated to support or stretch student (Assessment Opportunities)
• Able to use all 3 stages/grades with whole class for assessment
(Assessment Opportunities)

AS’ use of 3-step differentiation
(see blog for activity):
• Based on knowing the ability of learners to design appropriate task
(Information)
• Still based on same whole-class objective (Learning Focus)
• Graded to support and to stretch learners, with challenge provided through
progressive practice of skills
• Modelled through own attempt of task (Shape and Structure)
• Able to build in questioning prior to starting the task to check that learners
understood the different skills(Assessment Opportunities)
• Used monitoring to confirm grade of task chosen was suitable, or re-
designated to support or stretch student (Assessment Opportunities)
• Able to use all 3 steps with whole class for assessment through peer
assessment (Assessment Opportunities) 24

25. Your turn…
In departmental groups, create:
1. Plan and create a 3-step differentiation activity
based on a learning objective for a lesson that you
are likely to deliver within the next 2 weeks
2. Ensure that you have considered the information
about the learners to determine the level of
support, stretch and challenge
3. Decide on which assessment opportunities you will
use for your 3-step differentiation activity, including
when you will assess
25

26. GO Show and Tell
What 3-step activities have you come up with?
What other GO teaching ideas do you have to
share with others?

27. GO Group
Aim: To share Good and Outstanding practice within
school, between teachers and departments
Next meeting:
- Tuesday 28th April Lunchtime 1.30pm in J5 ;
extended afterschool session 3.30-4.30pm
Focus: Using digital technology in the classroom/3
step differentiation

28. What have you gained from this
session?
• Back to www.Kahoot.it please….you know
how!
