In every classroom there are children of many abilities. Managing the curriculum to meet the needs of all of these children can prove to be time consuming and difficult, as both OFSTED inspection and teacher appraisal observations have shown. This book looks at the many ways that teachers can differentiate work for children whilst keeping their work load manageable. It gives lots of imaginative ideas for activities and worksheets, whole lesson plans and many clearly described examples to help teachers to differentiate work more effectively in their own classrooms. It is a resource book for initial Teacher Training and CPD (Continuing Professional Development); and for senior managers concerned with differentiation either before or after their OFSTED inspection.

This new edition addresses the skills and strategies needed to support the emotional needs of pupils within the National Curriculum framework and school-improvement agenda. Many of the activities in the book have direct application in the curriculum for Personal, Social and Health education and Citizenship, and will support the whole class, not just those children identified as having behaviour difficulties.;This book should be of interest to teachers across the board, particularly those who have to deal with pupils who behave badly. It should also be useful for advisers in LEAs and educational psychologists.
