2.1: Explain why it is important to meet individual needs of learners
The Professional Standards as set out by the ETF (2014) state it is a teacher’s responsibility to reflect on what works best in their teaching and learning to meet the diverse needs of learners.
Any group that we teach will contain a diverse mix of learners with their own particular backgrounds, capabilities, previous experience and confidence levels. As a teacher it is important to demonstrate an ‘inclusive practice’, engaging in an approach to teaching and learning that endeavours to encourage the fullest participation of learners and that recognises and respect equality and diversity (Duckworth and Tummons, 2010, cited in Gould and Reffey – Barensten, 2014). We can do this through having an understanding of differentiation strategies.

It is always important as a teacher to ensure professionalism and to be ensure that all learners are felt there contribution would be valued and opinions respected in line with the Equality Act (2010).
