Differentiation and Personalised Learning

Pivotal provide cutting edge training tailored to your institution. Sample agendas are available on request. We don't 'train and run', we build sustainable practice that works for the long term. All our training can be booked with coaching & mentoring.

If the way that we learned was as individualised as our fingerprint, what would be the repercussions for teaching?

Pivotal’s Differentiation INSET is a practical guide for teachers/lecturers with strategies that are immediately useful.

• Differentiation techniques that raise achievement and satisfy OFSTED
• Time saving strategies for differentiating lessons
• Simple and quick coding schemes for lesson plans and schemes
• Differentiation strategies for practical and classroom based learning
• Clear guidance on best practice and OFSTED criteria
• Differentiated language and coaching in the classroom/workshop
• Exploding the myths of learning theory and learning styles

This course translates theory into excellent practice leaving your colleagues eager to implement new ideas.

No two children are alike. No two children learn in the identical way. An enriched environment for one student is not necessarily enriched for another. In the classroom we should teach children to think for themselves.
