Assessment

This is the final term for the session.
Performance appraisal shouldn't just be for students.

Classroom Management:

As Head of Early Years back then, I observed differentiation demonstrated in a very satisfactory way by excellent practitioners (cudos to Oyinye Nwankpa and Dodeye Jude) in the Nursery section of a school in Abuja, Nigeria. Each child was carried along at his or her own pace, while both the class teacher and the assistant teacher effectively enabled and monitored learning.

Does every child really matter in your class, do you differentiate your lessons effectively? 😎
