In the past schools have labelled the most able students in a class or year group as 'gifted and talented'. While segregating these students may help them to achieve their academic potential, there is little benefit in this practice for their 'less able' classmates. Even less so for those who are left in the middle space, identified as neither highly academic nor severely struggling. The Stretch and Challenge model focuses on setting high expectations for all students, regardless of their ability. Encouraging all children to meet universally high targets introduces flexibility between, otherwise rigid, ability groups, and gives children greater opportunities to exceed.
Split into two parts, Stretch and Challenge focuses on different ways of thinking about and implementing this model in school. Debbie Light begins by helping teachers to create a culture of high expectations in their classroom by setting challenging learning objectives, creating opportunities for students to develop independence and supporting students, as they become resilient learners. The second half of the book advises teachers how to create an inclusive learning environment where all children feel challenged by encouraging teacher questioning, designing tasks, grouping students and effectively using teaching assistants.
Filled with honest, experienced and undeniably helpful advice, Debbie Light's Stretch and Challenge is a must have guide for all teachers who want to collectively maximise their students' learning and achievement. The book provides a set of ready-to-use training plans to help you train your colleagues and is accompanied by PowerPoint slides available to download online for free. It offers 19 hours of CPD, equating to a cost of just £1.20 per hour of training!

This is a compelling, persuasive, balanced and comprehensive book. It is systematic and thoughtfully structured, moving from considering your own practice to supporting and challenging others to improve their own, as teachers extend their sphere of influence from committed practitioner to inspiring leader. - --Jilly Berry, former Head, now Leadership Consultant
'This excellent book contains everything that busy teachers need to know about how to get the best out of all their students. A well-informed and eminently practical guide, which is as important for those new to the profession, as it is to those with years of experience in the classroom.' - --Phil Stock, Assistant Head, Greenshaw High School
'This is an invaluable and comprehensive book for both classroom teachers and CPD leaders. Debbie Light's book will definitely be my 'go to read' for clarity, innovation and a common sense approach to this topic.' - --Debbie Ferrer, Associate Assistant Head, Bentley Wood High School
