That, however, is a misreading of the evidence. Most reviews show that differentiating in this way ('adaptive teaching') does have modest positive effects. (see e.g. https://t.co/Cp0l4ei6Ce or or https://t.co/yj98sRKrVD)

This too has a bad name, and is said not to work (see e.g. this critique from the US:

So issues with both. But teachers still have to deal with the fact that their pupils have different levels of prior knowledge and learn at different speeds. So the third form of differentiation is what's known as adaptive teaching. Here's an overview:

Within-class grouping is also traditionally widely used. Research here shows pretty much the same as for setting. The impact of ability grouping on teacher expectations is important here, and again can increase inequity ( https://t.co/kflquEFZBS)

@Evelynforde1 with stirring words about the power of allyship. "Never pull up the ladder behind you. There are so many aspiring leaders out there. "I made a commitment that I needed to be in a position of power and authority so I can elevate people." #REND

We are humbled to have @DavidWatson62 speaking @#REND this evening

We will be pausing our remote inspections of schools and colleges for the week beginning 8 March, while they are focused on reopening to all pupils. Read more on our coronavirus (COVID-19) rolling update:

*FREE CPD* We are pleased to offer this excellent training to any school leaders that may be interested. Looking at the Ofsted Hybrid Monitoring Inspections. Delivered by former HMI Lead Inspector. Register via details listed on the poster. Feel free to share with Governors.

The Reopening Schools Toolkit provides prompts for thinking about the mitigation of risk and some practical materials that may be helpful in creating a safe environment and offering reassurance as schools prepare for reopening. https://t.co/BYHo0Z23DF

Fantastic NEW #LDeduchat CPD with @CliveWoodward & @NigeldMorris in partnership with @WorkingOptions. At a time when youth unemployment is rocketing, what Paul Monk and team are doing to bridge the gap between industry and classroom is priceless. To book https://t.co/Lp2NcbCr9t

@ChilternTSA a clear and concise session on OFSTED: The EIF with @siawebb and @Arv_Kaushal

Good morning. I hope the session was useful. Let me know if you have any further questions @chilterntsa and #ldeduchat

Has anyone found these reousrces a positive contribution to our remote learning offer?

Trainee teachers with @eQualitasUK would benefit from this

Excellent session from @FlaviaBelhamPhD on why students don't use retrieval strategies (typically they don't even if they know them) and what to do about it. Also excellent from @MrsSpalding on remotivating students post-shutdown (with nice bit of Orla Kiely) #rEDDurringtonLoom

I've just uploaded 3 short (~20 minute) videos on "Why we need to raise achievement", "What formative assessment is, and isn't", and "Teacher learning communities" to my YouTube channel: https://t.co/AbL4cMeLOb. As ever, they are available under a @creativecommons CC-BY license.
