Lower Ability Group / Set: A T&L strategy for better outcomes

This PowerPoint is a ready-to-go T&L strategy to implement whole-school so that your teachers can get better outcomes / results from their lower ability groups.

Students in lower ability groups, typically, tend to respond to certain teaching and learning strategies better than others. This strategy (in the form of a PowerPoint to be used as a presentation) uses the findings of research into what works, according to cognitive science, to ensure these students:

1. retain more information
2. make bigger learning gains from lesson to lesson
3. make bigger learning gains over time
4. enjoy school more
5. get into a positive feedback loop

The practicalities of achieving the above are outlined within the presentation, as are examples of how the T&L strategies might play out in reality.

using this strategy at our school we have seen real results in terms of increasing the psychological safety of our lower ability pupils, increasing their buy-in and capacity to make greater leaps in their learning, resulting in better exam outcomes too.

Thanks for taking a look and I hope this saves you some time :)
