Tell me about a time you adapted a lesson for a pupil who was struggling

"I differentiated the work" is not an answer. What could the pupil do afterwards that they could not before?

The answer most people give

"I differentiated the work." That is the whole answer.

It is not wrong. It is simply not scoreable - and a panel can only award marks for something it can point at.

The answer that scores

The barrier, what you changed, and what the pupil could do at the end that they could not before.

What they are actually scoring

Result is 15% of the answer, and it is the part most candidates leave out.

The two-minute test

Say your answer out loud and time it. Under 90 seconds and there is usually too little action in it to mark. Over four minutes and a panel starts editing you down in their head. Aim for two to two and a half minutes: the situation, what you were asked to do, what you did step by step, what changed, and one line of reflection.

Practise it out loud

Reading an answer back tells you it is correct. Saying it tells you whether you can get it out of your mouth in the time you have. https://dontbombit.com asks you the question and scores what you actually said.
