Key Notes on Differentiation
Content	Provide a partially completed example, labelled materials or vocabulary support for learners who need scaffolding in Christian responses to barriers affecting women and vulnerable groups. Extend the task by adding a new constraint, less familiar case or requirement to compare alternatives in Christian responses to barriers affecting women and vulnerable groups.
Process	Use mixed-ability pairs for the first application, then require an individual transfer task. Allow oral/visual demonstration where appropriate while retaining the same subject accuracy criteria.
Product	Use a checklist/rubric tied to the concrete output for this week rather than participation alone. For advanced work, require justification with evidence, calculations, source reference or quality criteria.
Success Criteria	The learner uses correct subject terminology and evidence. The learner completes the week’s concrete product/calculation/performance with acceptable accuracy. The learner explains why the procedure/choice fits the stated context rather than giving a memorised general answer.
