DIFFERENTIATION
Where you might hear it: From anyone in education, but especially in relation to gifted children or those with special educational needs.
What does it mean: Differentiation is a process that gives all school pupils access to learning that is tailored to their specific needs. It means that a teacher has to be able to vary their approach as necessary, adapting their lesson plans to maximise learning.

Differentiation helps to meet the needs of gifted or talented children and children with special educational needs.
