Abstract

Differentiation has been one of the main teaching strategies used to support inclusion in the classroom when teaching a diverse class of pupils who vary in ability and needs. In England, the Teachers’ Standards 5 (DFE, 2021) is clear that teachers need to ‘know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be taught effectively’ (p.11). This aim is challenging, as differentiation is a complex and a broad teaching approach that incorporates many practices to improve inclusion. It involves a multitude of professional decisions that the teacher must make during a lesson. This article will explore differentiation, the misconceptions associated with it, and classroom practices to support differentiation.
