Differentiation

This resource is designed to help tutors understand how and why to differentiate in planning and delivering sessions for adult learners. It is intended primarily for tutors using the site independently. It can, however, be used as part of a managed CPD or coaching session or serve as a preparatory activity in advance of a managed session.

An alternative version of this resource, designed specifically for Modern Foreign Language (MFL) tutors, can be found in the MFL CPD part of this site.
