uppermost in many minds! Many many thanks for all contributions!

RT @C_Hendrick: #ukedchat diff means creating a situation where
ALL pupils can access the curriculum not just the C/D borderline
pupils. Yep
HGJohn 20:58
@ShaunGosney I'm sure that's the case, but the actual measurable
evidence for it is very thin #ukedchat

@caroljallen @dukkhaboy #ukedchat it's another time when a
teachers judgement and professionalism needs to be trusted and
employed.
Biolady99 20:58
@teachitso the progress is seen as it improves your own
performance for all students #ukedchat
LearningSpy 20:58 @dukkhaboy It's what we strive for though #ukedchat

Differentiation - different roles like an organisation. Set problem
where all have different tasks/roles to explore the problem

final thought from me, we have a National curric, I have students
who cant support their own heads age 19 - what Nation is this?

@charte Have done quite a lot of work with students setting own

#ukedchat 1 problem with diff is that it can be very divisive. Getting
an A* pupil and an E grade pupil engaged in same text is a fine art.
