Why do we as teachers often think differentiation involves us only directing students to different approaches to a task? Why don’t we let each student decide what is the most suitable for them?
The GAP strategy from Standout Teaching, is a highly successful whole school strategy which encourages student ownership of differentiation using the simple approach of three colours- Green, Amber and Pink to signpost student activities.
