titleDetailed look at a small group (of very different learner's that a tutor must teach)

Here a tutor has a challenge of teaching 4 very different learners, who have “weird and unexpected” strengths and weaknesses.

Ava

Baz

Charlie

Dylan

Level of Learner

Detail

Ava’s teacher has no real idea of grade learner would gain if she took her GCSE exam tomorrow (she is new to the school).

Baz, would gain a grade, which would almost certainly be below grade 4 if he took his GCSE exam tomorrow.

Charlie might gain a grade 1 if she took her GCSE exam tomorrow.

Dylan is not expected to get any grade if he took his GCSE exam tomorrow.

Global target

N/A

Find and fill in some glaring gaps.

Fill in gaps and improve

  • his ability to read questions with meaning,

  • his accuracy

Charlie has some unexpected strengths, so here the task is to find out why she has so many weak areas, as well as build on her strengths.

Dylan, is one of the weakest learners in the school, so may well have been taught “too hard” in most his maths lessons - so err on the side of easy and see how learning embeds.

Teach layer 6

Doesn’t need to learn - teach BIDMAS layer 4, while the other learners, learn factor skills

Teach layer 6

Teach layer 1

BIDMAS - could be taught as an extension layer in the second half of a lesson - or see teaching suggestion given when planning teaching of the topic factor

Ava doesn’t know this, and her assessment on multiple and factor indicate she would be better learning other skills.

 Baz can learn layer 4 while the others learn more factor skills

A surprise that Charlie knows this - her numeracy skills are higher than expected.

This topic will be too hard for Dylan. Due to his low level for learner, he wasn’t even asked questions form this layer. The teacher might teach him some 4 operation skills, which the rest of the learners already know.

Teach layer 8 or 9

Layer 8 is a scaffold of 9 - so err on the side of caution, while the teacher gets to know the class.

Teach layer 3

fraction +/-

The 3 different layers all rely on labelling a fraction line - so shouldn’t be too difficult for the teacher - layer 5 isn’t like this, so teach Baz layer 6 rather than layer 5.
