| Description | This publication focuses on the issue of pupil differentiation in primary schools to illustrate how teachers address the different learning needs of pupils in an environment that combines co-teaching with ability group teaching. Using examples from five primary schools shows how schools are coping with the long-standing criticism of the Czech education system for prematurely separating pupils. The book presents the different, more or less visible models of pupil grouping that can exist in primary schools and reflects on their impact on equality of learning opportunities. It uses qualitative research data to show that simply grouping pupils is no guarantee of improved learning. Adapting teaching practices to the diverse needs of pupils, regardless of the type of grouping, is a necessary condition. This publication is aimed not only at education policy professionals but also at other schools considering grouping options. The publication offers recommendations on how to approach differentiation equitably, how to maximise its benefits and minimise its risks. Finally, the book is aimed at all those who wish to ensure that all children have the chance to achieve a quality education regardless of adverse circumstances. |
