Differentiation

Differentiation is integral to inclusive, student-centred practice. Guided by the principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and the continuum of support, I implement flexible, responsive strategies to meet diverse learning needs. This section showcases how I create equitable access, promote high expectations, and foster meaningful engagement for all learners.

Differentiation Case Study: 
Differentiating teaching, learning and assessment practices

This case study examines in detail, the way in which I differentiated teaching, learning and assessment practices in the art classroom for one of my autistic students. 

SEN Overview: 
Dyslexia

Students explored personal growth through sustainable printmaking utilising monoprint, calligraphy and intaglio. Inspired by the schools commitment to biodiversity and the nurturing environment of the Geode, students reflected on growth - both in nature and within themselves - through their creative processes. Each print and plate capture a self-selected area of growth, expressing personal journeys through the tactile, layered language of sustainable printmaking.

SEN Overview:
Autism

Students studied and analysed Picassos aesthetic styles with particular focus on his portraiture and Head of a Woman (Tete de femme) 1957.  In developing an understanding of the unique elements of his art such as distorted forms and multifaceted perspectives, students experimented with self-representation through these lenses. Students translated their knowledge of caricatures, characterisation and Picassos' style into three-dimensional cardboard maquettes.
