Teacher Standard 5 states that teachers should adapt teaching to respond to the strengths and needs of all pupils. It is split into four sub-standards

a. Know when and how to differentiate appropriately, using approaches which enable pupils to be taught effectively

b. Have a secure understanding of how a range of factors can inhibit pupils' ability to learn, and how best to overcome these

c. Demonstrate an awareness of the physical, social and intellectual development of children, and know how to adapt teaching to support pupils' education at different stages of development

d. Have a clear understanding of the needs of all pupils, including those with special educational needs; those of high ability; those with English as an additional language; those with disabilities; and be able to use and evaluate distinctive teaching approaches to engage and support them


What this standard is assessing

You quickly and accurately discern their learners’ strengths and needs and are proactive in differentiating and employing a range of effective intervention strategies to secure progression for individuals and groups. You have an astute understanding of how effective different teaching approaches are in relation to impact on learning and engagement of learners.
