Differentiation for Catch-up

Every class – and every pupil – is different. The challenge of meeting the needs of all learners simultaneously has never been easy but this challenge can be greatly exacerbated by unanticipated events, such as prolonged absences or pandemics. In these instances, teachers will need an effective toolkit for first assessing and then addressing gaps in pupils’ learning.

This course addresses reasons why pupils may become vulnerable to underachievement and explores a range of proven and practical strategies to accelerate the catch-up process. By ascertaining exactly what pupils have remembered over time, we can intervene to plug gaps in learning and provide appropriate support and challenge for each pupil.
