The video discusses strategies for addressing diverse classroom needs, focusing on five approaches: explicit instruction, cognitive and metacognitive strategies, and scaffolding. Explicit instruction involves clear communication and modeling. Cognitive strategies help manage cognitive load and enhance memory. Scaffolding provides visual, written, or verbal support. Flexible grouping and technology are also recommended. More information is available in the EEF's guidance report.
