We work hard on ensuring our lower level students are well catered for, so surely our higher level students deserve to be catered for as well.    How do we challenge the higher level students within our multiple ability classrooms?    If just getting students to attain and maintain the levels that our curriculum expects is taking all your time and attention, then this PD will show you how you can enrich and extend the learning of your higher ability students and help them reach their potential without you having to spend a lot of time preparing something completely different.

The focus of this workshop is to be able to recognize and develop methods and strategies to cater for multiple ability classrooms with particular focus on the higher achievers. Participants will take part in some sample lessons which will then be analysed in detail in order to identify the components that lead to developing an inquiring mind.    Lesson plans will also be provided to illustrate how the scaffolding would look.

Discussion will revolve around the teacher's role and will include:

Planning

Goal setting Strategies

Expectations

Scaffolding

Questioning

Providing choice

Reflection
