You are going to watch two short video sequences, each of which raises questions about setting pupil worksheet tasks in a lesson.

  • In the first episode, the teacher gave a worksheet to the class and some pupils finished earlier than the others. This issue is raised in the post-lesson conference. Notice the solution provided by the novice teacher.
  • In the second episode, we hear the teacher and an experienced teacher discuss how to design worksheets to cater for different levels of pupils' ability.
 
       
   
   

As we watch these clips, consider what you might say if you were one of the mentors engaged in these two post-lesson conferences, with regard to catering for individual differences.

Keep in mind the curriculum guideline which emphasises the need to ”„find appropriate ways to help them [pupils] learn better. Otherwise, the gaps between the high achievers and the low achievers will widen as children move through progressive stages of schooling”¦ (CDC, 2001 , p .92 ).
