Understanding the teaching approach
Differentiation in materials:
To help teachers deal with less and more able
learners within their classes
- C = core materials, these need to be taught in
order to cover all the syllabus
- D = desirable materials, these could be taught in
order to consolidate learning
- E = extension materials, these may be used for fast
finishers or if the teachers finds they have a free
lesson
