As a coach it is key that you are able to differentiate your material to cater to every participants needs, whether it be different learning styles or a variety of different abilities and there are a number of ways in which this can be done;
Grouping – Grouping is where the coach places the group into pairs with one confident individual and a less confident individual the aim being that the less confident participant learns of their peer, this can also be developed into a pairs vs pairs game scenario.
VARK – Using a variety of different learning techniques in order to cater to every participants learning needs Visual, Aural/Auditory, Read/Write, Kinaesthetic
They are just two examples of differentiation however there are many others that can be looked into, i try to apply grouping into my coaching attempting to get the participants to learn from one another as well as the information provided by myself. When in a game situation/mini tournement this allows a filter to show the more competent players to those less so without having to group them into those categories, it also links back to my coaching philosophy of playing game to learn.
