John Bayley is working with Deputy Head Barbara Lee at Grange Middle school in Harrow. Much of the school's current focus is on differentiation, and today Barbara is working with Canadian-born teacher Kristin Patterson. Kristin is teaching a Year 5 science lesson, which includes a mixed-ability group-work activity. Whilst some students are clearly on top of the task, others seem uncertain of their roles and confused about what's expected of them. In feedback, Barbara's challenge is to express her misgivings about the group work in a way Kristin can accept.
