No spelling mistakes tonight in #ukedchat as the session is being led

by the amazing #theheadsoffice :-) Enjoy. Tonight=Differentiation

TeacherToolkit 19:57

Differentiation by 1) task 2) outcome & 3) ability. Are there any

other ways? #ukedchat

gillrobinstweet 19:57 @ukedchat @TheHeadsOffice What flavour is the coffee?

eyebeams 19:57

Differentiation is not about teacher centric activities it is about

good co-construction so peer assessment and review #ukedchat

ukedchat 19:58 @gregtheseal It's a good #ukedchat tonight :-)

mister_jim 19:58 #ukedchat How flexible do you make your differentiation?

@TheHeadsOffice Why do we use words like "differentiation"

anyway. Educational jargon that ensures it's misunderstood

MrsPrentice11 20:01 what's the topic tonight? #ukedchat


#ukedchat differentiation is best done through questioning...AfL,

student-led learning and stepping back to listen and learn from

students.


RT @stevegillott: #ukedchat Differentiation is needed to

accommodate the different learning styles your learners have.

mattbuxton10 20:02

How about Differentiation by (Socratic) Questioning? Guess that's

by outcome strictly speaking but another strategy?? #ukedchat

TheHeadsOffice 20:02 #ukedchat What are the most successful ways to differentiate ?

StuartLock 20:02

@Catriona_O I read somewhere this week that 5 different heads

had 5 different ideas of what personalisation is as well! #ukedchat

stevegillott 20:02

#ukedchat Differentiation is needed to accommodate the different

learning styles your learners have.

RachelOrr 20:02

#ukedchat - forget the terminology of personalised learning - what

do your kids need to know/do/understand/use/apply and get on

teaching it!

LearningSpy 20:03

Using SOLO taxonomy is a great way to do this RT @fullonlearning:

informed_edu 20:03

Introducing some choice of tasks for students in your lesson is a

good way to allow differentiation without stigma #ukedchat


I like to set lesson objectives and extended learning objectives. Not

just bog standard ones, students choose them for themselves

#ukedchat

RachelOrr 20:04

#ukedchat - focus groups = what children are able to achieve

because of direct imput from teacher !!!


RT @ikeontoast: #ukedchat i let children choose activities, and then

i can say "oh you're really good at this, so why not try this instead...'

works a treat

ben_solly 20:04 @informed_edu Definitely agree with that! #ukedchat

largerama 20:04

#ukedchat A well constructed learning objective that is dissected in

the lesson enables differentiation

vicksytoria1 20:04

â€œ@sm_morris: If you give students texts they can't read and

RT @josepicardo: RT @charte: #ukedchat personalisation => focus

control of learning.

RT @mattbuxton10: Lots of visual thinking templates; let them
