Also consider that “ability” and “pace” are variable and they can grow; pupils underachieve for lots of reasons, including absenteeism as in Judith’s group, and lack of home support. But their achievement levels may rise if expectations are high and support is given. As a consequence, '''a teacher needs to provide for all students to develop their ability to the next level and beyond. '''Pupils should always have a next step and a new ''challenge'' to move on to. Whatever level a learner is at, they can ''stretch'' themselves and you can ''support'' them to improve it. | Also consider that “ability” and “pace” are variable and they can grow; pupils underachieve for lots of reasons, including absenteeism as in Judith’s group, and lack of home support.
