Teachers, Easily Differentiate Your Lessons and Reclaim Your Valuable Time!
As a teacher, your superpower is creating learning experiences that reach every student. But with diverse abilities and varied learning styles in every classroom, planning differentiated lessons can feel like an endless marathon. You spend evenings and weekends tweaking lessons, sourcing materials, and wondering how to engage every learner effectively. At Teach Starter, we recognise your extraordinary efforts and understand your dedication. Our resources empower you to differentiate your lessons effortlessly, giving you back the precious hours you deserve to spend nurturing and inspiring your students.
Why differentiation feels overwhelming
Differentiation is about ensuring every child in your class is actively engaged and learning effectively, regardless of their starting point. While you deeply value this approach, it often involves hours of additional planning and prep work. Maybe you’ve found yourself creating multiple versions of the same activity late into the night or frantically searching online for suitable resources, only to find they don’t quite meet your students’ unique needs. These scenarios drain your energy, leaving less room for creativity, connection, and joy in your classroom.
You’re not alone; many dedicated teachers grapple with these same challenges. However, by leveraging thoughtfully designed, teacher-tested resources, you can transform your differentiation strategy from exhausting to empowering.
Editable templates bring instant relief for busy teachers
Imagine this: instead of spending hours creating differentiated lesson plans from scratch, you simply open a template, adjust it quickly, and have your lessons tailored and ready to go. That’s exactly what Teach Starter’s editable teaching resources offer. Created by experienced teachers, these templates provide flexible, easily customisable frameworks to accommodate diverse learning levels in minutes, not hours.
These templates help teachers like you simplify planning significantly. For example, one teacher said:
“I think the actual resources are really easy to use. They’ve got instructions, they’re quite well set out and the kids interact with them quite well. You can usually find ones at different levels. And I like how you can differentiate without the kid next to them knowing that they’re working at a different level.”
Most templates come in editable Google Slides and PowerPoint formats, giving you complete control to adapt the content to your specific teaching style, year level, or classroom language. Whether you use different acronyms, alternative terms, or a specific tone in your classroom communication, editable versions let you fine-tune resources in seconds—without starting from scratch or sending a special request.
Prefer to print and go? Easy-to-download PDFs are also available, giving you the choice between flexibility and speed depending on your needs that day. It’s about saving time and making the resource truly yours.
Interactive resources = student engagement simplified
Student engagement is crucial but challenging, especially when catering to diverse needs. Teach Starter’s extensive Interactive Games Collection helps teachers engage learners effortlessly. These ready-made resources are meticulously designed to maintain interest and motivation across various ability levels, eliminating the guesswork and stress associated with differentiation.
“The thing I use every single day is in the widgets. I’ve got the spin the wheel, and I’ve got all my student names on there.”
Consider a scenario where you have students at multiple reading levels. Instead of crafting several activities yourself, you can easily select from our range of games and activities aligned to specific skills and interests, immediately capturing your students’ enthusiasm. Teachers who regularly utilise these interactive resources often report significantly increased engagement levels across their classrooms, with students excitedly participating in differentiated learning experiences without any additional prep burden on the teacher.
Curriculum-aligned and classroom-tested units
We know how time-consuming it is to match resources with curriculum standards while differentiating effectively. That’s why Teach Starter’s Curriculum-Aligned Teaching Units are a game changer. Every unit is carefully developed by educators who understand your daily realities, aligning seamlessly with curriculum outcomes and embedding differentiation directly into the activities and assessments.
For teachers across Australia navigating recent curriculum updates, Teach Starter stays up to date. Our resources align with:
- Australian Curriculum Version 9
- Victorian Curriculum 2.0
- New South Wales Curriculum Versions 1 and 2
That means whether you’re teaching from the latest English, maths, or HASS sequences, you’ll find units that match your planning needs and your students’ progressions, without the endless double-checking and curriculum-matching.
Each unit includes scaffolded activities, formative and summative assessments, and clear differentiation notes to help you teach your class, not just deliver content.
With Teach Starter units, you save considerable time previously spent adapting standard lessons for diverse learners. Instead, each resource clearly outlines differentiation strategies, helping you effortlessly meet the needs of your entire class.
“I really like those unit plans, which have kind of come in the last few years because, you know, sometimes you’re like, I don’t know where to start.”
