• Adapting to All Learners:Know how to differentiate appropriately to support pupils with special educational needs, high ability, disabilities, or English as an additional language.
• Effective Assessment:Use formative and summative data to monitor progress, give regular feedback, and guide pupils' next steps.
• Classroom Management:Maintain clear rules, routines, and high expectations for behaviour using fair praise, rewards, and sanctions.
