Differentiation is a key part of the curriculum, but can be a divisive subject among teachers.

This is a compilation of the many ways to easily organise and differentiate learning, as well as useful tips on scaffolding, structuring learning, and how to build on positive outcomes to make further improvements, covering each aspect of teaching, from whole class activities to homework.
