It is designed to be used in initial and in-service training and provides excellent examples of differentiation in two very different classes. It comes with notes, which include ideas for use of the video, copies of the session plans for each class and copies of the materials used. The video is available from DFES publications. Please quote reference PLRA V1.

These resources will be able to be downloaded soon from http://www.dfes.gov.uk/readwriteplus/LearningInfrastructurePlanningLearning .

3. Setting goals and targets
4. Involving the learner in the process
A report of a research project on the use of Individual Learning Plans in ESOL. This report summarises the findings of a project undertaken in Summer 2003 which investigated the ways in which a wide range of ESOL providers were using ILPs and the issues and questions their use raised.
