Reinforce the LO’s

Answer any questions pupils may have/clarify understanding

Reflect on their learning:

-       What has been learned

-       What remained unclear

-       What is necessary to work on

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check students’ learning?

Health and safety regulations

Differentiation can be by task, by outcome, by individual support, by selection of teaching materials and resources taking into account individual abilities of learners (Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Gardner).

Differentiation can be used at any stage of the lesson keeping time management in mind.

Use this section to record the methods you will use to assess what students have learned during the lesson.
