DEFINITIONS Differentiation vs Personalisation Differentiation – the art of teaching
each individual in their stretch zone… (tutor’s responsibility = assessment)
Personalisation – ensuring that the student can be recognised as an individual throughout their whole learning experience (organisation’s responsibility = evaluation)
![Page 5: Differentiation and the Individual Learning Journey](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815f5d550346895dce4047/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
DEFINITIONS Differentiation Differentiation – the art of teaching
each individual in their stretch zone…
…so that they are challenged and excited by the learning and not frightened of it.

Initial AssessmentQuestions
What do you assess and how?
How do you avoid making assumptions about individuals?
![Page 12: Differentiation and the Individual Learning Journey](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815f5d550346895dce4047/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Reflexive Practice Reflection = I did this, this happened,
I’ll do this next.
Reflexion = I did this because (this is how my values played out, that theory held true), this happened, I’ll do this next.

Values and Practice Principles Value = deeply held guiding belief, shaped
by life’s experiences.
Practice Principle = how values play out in your practice as a teacher (or life in general).
What is one of your practice principles? Which value is this grounded in, for you?
![Page 16: Differentiation and the Individual Learning Journey](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815f5d550346895dce4047/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
SMART Learning Outcomes Aim = general statement of intent.
Learning Outcome = a measurable target of achievement, phrased thus: by the end of the session, the learner will be able to…
DON’T BE A HOSTAGE TO FORTUNE!All students should be able to achieve all
learning outcomes comfortably.

A Differentiated Learning Process: Check In 11. Course is written on scheme of work
(basic SMART, values-linked learning outcomes).
2. Selection is confirmed (everyone should be able to achieve).
3. Initial assessment is carried out (selection is part of this – it includes every interface you’ve had with each student before the course begins).

Individual Learning GoalsTwo approaches:
1. Students write their own (and gain a valuable life skill)
2. You produce a differentiation rubric for the course and support students to identify their own stretch
![Page 23: Differentiation and the Individual Learning Journey](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062520/56815f5d550346895dce4047/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Individual Learning Goals 1Student Led1. SMART (of course)2. Congruent with personal values (be
explicit)3. Recorded in Individual Learning Plan
This process is strongly ipsative and therefore in line with the College’s own values of empowerment and transformation.

Must – Should – Could Dangers… Locus of control with teacher not student
(spectrum of independence)
Putting individuals into groups
Danger of making assumptions
Missed opportunity to develop valuable life-skills

A Process for DifferentiationCheck-In 21. Course is written on scheme of work (basic
SMART, values-linked learning outcomes).2. Selection is confirmed (everyone should be able to
achieve).3. Initial assessment is carried out (selection is part
of this – it includes every interface you’ve had with each student before the course begins).
4. Values work with students: help them identify their five key values.
5. Each student to identify SMART, values-linked personal learning outcomes/complete differentiation rubric
6. Regular check-in points to assess and summarise learning.

Over to you… Create an action plan for improving
differentiated learning in your own practice.
SMART goals please!

Finally… Get differentiation right and you are
automatically beginning to embed diversity in your practice. Diversity of opinion Resonating with those identities present (Reflecting absent identities.)
Every student is an unique human being.
