The guest on this week's episode of 'Beyond Survival: the new teacher podcast' is Bruce Robertson. Bruce is a headteacher, consultant and author of the excellent 'Teaching Delusion' trilogy.

In this interview, Bruce answers the central question:

How can new teachers improve their differentiation in the classroom?

In answering this central question, we also explore the following:

1. What is the purpose of differentiation in the classroom?

2. From your observations of new teachers, where do they tend to make mistakes with differentiation?

3. What are the differentiation techniques you feel are most effective in the classroom?

4. What other advice might you offer teachers at the start of their careers?

I hope you really enjoy the episode! If you have any feedback on how to improve the show, or would like to come on the podcast for one of the live coaching episodes, please get in touch via www.slowteaching.co.uk, or through Twitter (@teachgratitude1).
