Recent research suggests that mixed attainment teaching not only leads to better results for the majority of students, but also improves student engagement and well-being. This course explores effective strategies for teaching mixed attainment classes in English. It will focus on:
- How to adapt a single curriculum for nearly all students
- Which curriculum content works best with mixed attainment classes
- The importance of choice, connection and cognition in mixed attainment teaching.
NB: This is a repeat course.
This course will be recorded but attendees will not be audible or visible.

It was excellent: clear overview, research-based, lots of practical ideas for the classroom, effective delivery. Odette Orlans, Highgate School, Mixed Attainment Teaching at KS3 & KS4, Summer 2022
It was the end of a long, sweaty day at the end of a long, grinding term, when all of a sudden, I felt awake, I felt excited. I felt that I wanted to go and teach from the resources immediately. EMC courses always strike the right balance; well-researched, practical and with a love of the subject and students at the heart. Thank you. Siobhan Lancaster, Wallingford School, Mixed Attainment Teaching at KS3 & KS4, , Summer 2022
