Differentiation remains important in planning for the full Ability Range, thus planning
appropriate lesson for most able in the context of a mixed ability group can be done in different
ways. The approach will depend on the age of pupils, the subject and teacher. for instance there
are two following models/approaches used by different teachers:
1) MUST SHOULD COULD
Must (Absolutely necessary)
Should (Desirable for whole class)
Could (More open activities)
2) CORE PLUS ENHANCEMENT
Enrichment
One intervention strategy for talented and gifted pupils is to offer pupils an enriched curriculum,
either within or beyond the classroom. With the aim of providing pupils with interesting and
meaningful experiences, which motivates their learning and stretch their capabilities there is a
need to enrich the curriculum. such enrichment should broaden and deepen the learning
experience. Pupils should be encouraged to think and expand their horizons, they should be
motivated to want to do more. Thus, according to Graeme Kent (1996, p. 44), "the enrichment
process should help the able children's
fluency
, enabling them to respond in different ways and
find different solutions. It should develop the
flexibility
of the children, helping them to
experiment with ideas, situations and techniques. It should provide them with opportunities for
originality,
using their imaginations. It should lead children to
elaboration
, adding extra ideas to
their responses and using and adapting the ideas of others".
