Ultimate Guide to Differentiation

Book Overview

This book is the ultimate guide to differentiation and adaptive teaching in early years, schools and further education settings by Sue Cowley, bestselling author of Getting the Buggers to Behave. It offers over 90 practical and time-saving strategies in every classroom – the revised edition, The Ultimate Guide to Adaptive Teaching, will be available from June 2025.

Content and Approach

The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation demonstrates how teachers already differentiate and adapt their teaching much of the time, in subtle and creative ways. Sue Cowley shows that we need to understand, acknowledge and celebrate the variety of approaches that teachers already use, as well as helping them to develop additional strategies. The book takes the reader through the different methods and approaches to differentiation and adaptive teaching, providing a step-by-step guide to each. It is broken down into five core areas - planning, resources, learners, teaching and assessment - and readers can dip in and out to find strategies as and when they need them.

Written in Sue's much loved realistic, honest and practical style, The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation will help teachers, practitioners and support staff to feel confident that they are meeting the needs of every learner.
