Fast finishers … we all have them in our classrooms! But how to keep speedy students, who don’t have anything else (productive) to do, plugged in? In this hands-on session we will explore the challenges teachers face in teenage classes with mixed learning abilities, with a particular focus on fast finishers. You‘ll walk away with a handful of activities that help to keep the strongest learners on board, whilst making learning fun for all.
