  • What role might differentiation play in future visions of the next generation of schools?
  • What is differentiation, really?
  • Is the ultimate goal of differentiation an entirely personalised curriculum, or a standardised curriculum achieved in personal and unique ways?
  • What do policies about differentiation have to do with societies notions of conformity, equality and individuality?
  • What challenges of differentiation are unique to international school settings?
  • What does philosophy, morality and ethics have to say about differentiation?
  • What does the science of thinking, knowing and learning look like, and what does it suggest about the need for, and practice of, differentiation?
