Assessment Task 2:Case Study on Differentiation

CRITICAL TASK

Report on a case study into the needs of a selected learner requiring

differentiated teaching, learning and

assessment planning to provide support

for their participation and achievement in learning activities.

Assessment Task 2 requirements

The scenario

You have accepted a full-time, very-well paid, teaching position in one of the nominated schools and are responsible for liaising with teachers and service providers to offer high quality inclusive practice for the schools students.

The purpose

The report will be used as apart of the schools website to inform the parent and local community of how the school manages differentiation within a rural location.

The task

Develop a factual report on

Firstly, the facilities, projects, programs, co-curricular activities and curriculum of the school and its local, neighbourhood community that will support your selected student

Secondly, how the school (facilities, projects, programs, co-curricular activities and curriculum) has differentiated its teaching offering, learning environment/activities and assessment (with explicit reference to a SMART goal) for the select student.

Thirdly, to demonstrate the differentiating of teaching/learning strategies and assessment (internal and external assessments) choose either Literacy or Numeracy or a particular KLA to frame the differentiation.

Structure the portfolio with the Rolfe et al writing model which is designed to pinpoint the issue (what), argue for and against the issue (so what) and evaluate the argument in terms of recommendations for action (now what).

The task has 3 sections (What 1?; What 2?; So What ?; Now What?) There are 4 x parts in total because What? has 2 x parts. In total the report is between 1800-2000 words. Each part is maximum 500 words and must demonstrate research through use of intext citations of recent (2019+) academic articles.
