My aim - to collect resources and ideas for teaching low/below pupils in Business and preparing them for their controlled assessment.

What are your viewpoints on differentiation?
Resources - edited the book.
Not publicising the fact they need extra support but allowing pupils to have the choice.
Questioning
Reflecting on realistic targets - May be not completing a task.
Emphasising the positive
Not dwelling on what they haven't done.
Helping them/more support without the pupil realising.
Dealing with being wrong/failing.
Interpretation of questions.

Definition of Differentiation:
Making a task accessible to all students whilst ensuring they are still be challenged.
