Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly does it produce?
Strategies for struggling, on-level and advanced learners; language support for ELL/ESL students; accommodations for learning differences such as ADHD and dyslexia; visual, auditory and kinaesthetic approaches; five alternative assessment formats; three tiers of the assignment; grouping suggestions; and environment changes.
Should I name students in the learner needs field?
No. Describe the class by numbers and needs — '3 students with dyslexia' — never by name. Pupil data, and SEN information in particular, should not be typed into a third-party AI tool.
Are the accommodations a substitute for an IEP or EHCP?
Absolutely not. Statutory plans are legal documents written for an individual child by people who have assessed them. Anything here is general classroom practice, and where it conflicts with a student's plan, the plan wins. Check with your SENCo or equivalent.
What are tiered assignments?
The same learning objective approached at three levels of complexity, so every student works on the same content at a level that challenges them. It's one of the more practical ideas in the output because it avoids running three separate lessons.
Is the learning-styles framing evidence-based?
Worth being straight about: the idea that students have a fixed learning style they must be taught in is not well supported by research. Presenting material in several modes is still good practice for everyone — treat those sections as variety in delivery, not as a diagnosis of individual students.
About Differentiation Strategy Generator
Differentiating a lesson properly means planning several versions of it, which is why it's the first thing to go in a busy week. The Differentiation Strategy Generator takes one topic and a description of your class and produces a full set of approaches across learner groups, formats and classroom setup.
The most immediately usable parts are the tiered assignments and the alternative assessment formats. Three tiers of the same task let you teach one lesson rather than three, and five ways to demonstrate understanding means a student who can't write a paragraph about something can still show you they know it.
Describe your class in numbers and needs — '3 students with dyslexia, 5 ELL, 2 gifted' — and never in names. That's both better input and the right handling of pupil data, which should not go into a third-party AI tool in identifiable form.
Two honest notes. Nothing here replaces a statutory plan: an IEP or EHCP is written for a named child by people who assessed them, and where this conflicts with one, the plan wins — ask your SENCo. And the learning-styles sections are best read as variety in how you present material, since the evidence for fixed individual learning styles is weak. Your input goes to our own AI server over HTTPS, is used once, and is never stored or used for training. If our server is down, a backup AI provider may handle the request under its own data policy.
