something?

colport 20:13 Do you personalise your own children's lives? I don't treat my daughter
exactly the same, as they are completely different #ukedchat
rashush2 20:13
@cherrylkd Yes. But there are only 24hrs in a day. Balance? #ukedchat

iteachyear4 20:13 @rashush2 Very true, but could open a minefield of issues if one class
does one thing and other does something else. #ukedchat

MathsChatterbox 20:13 In a typical primary class - kinaesthetic+aural+visual learners x 3 ability

groups = plan personalised learning for 9 diff groups? #ukedchat
@willhaywood completely agree - same knowledge can be displayed
mattbuxton10 20:14 by using different skills. decisions are fundamental to learning
#ukedchat

AdiNotNow 20:14 @cherrylkd @colport Differentialtion should happen lesson by lesson.

That's what AfL is for. group by input/starter AfL #ukedchat

fhesbusiness 20:14 @AsherJac perhaps. I do think creating a truly effective PLN and using
properly is quite advanced stuff - would love to be wrong #ukedchat

Nevagonnabslim 20:14 #ukedchat I think personalised learning happens constantly in BTEC or

coursework based lessons but Naturally without paperwork constraints

different? #ukedchat
RT @chrisquigley: #ukedchat child led learning a bit of a myth. It is
egalr 20:50 probably child steered learning. The curriculum leads, children
steer...sometimes away

fullonlearning 20:50 #ukedchat PL not just about cognitive needs:must also meet emotional
& social needs (particularly true for G&T:is often overlooked for them)
RT @josepicardo: @colport you can teach a class collectively but

learning.. #ukedchat

#ukedchat I suspect that Mr Gove would understand the term

ignored...

GiftedPhoenix 20:57 #ukedchat ....but notionally anyway he's content to leave pedagogy to
