Effective Teaching and Learning for Pupils in Low Attaining Groups

Abstract

The study sought to answer four key research questions:
\n1. What are the population characteristics of pupils in low attainment sets? - 
\n2. What practices and processes do schools use to identify and organise low attainment groups? - 
\n3. How do schools and teachers motivate and inspire pupils in low attaining groups to learn? - 
\n4. Are different approaches used for pupils from specific social groups (minority ethnic/social class/ gender) who are over-represented in low attainment groups and/or ‘at risk’ of low educational outcomes?
