Throughout the school, teachers, staff and visitors are encouraged to acknowledge good behaviour. To facilitate this, the school has "Caught in the act … of being good!" slips that can be filled with the learner's name, the details and date, and handed in at the office. Just before break, the principal reads them out over the intercom and a note is sent home. It has shifted the focus from constantly looking out for bad behaviour to actively seeking out good behaviour. It has caught on to such an extent that even people in the community responded. A woman was shopping at the nearby Spar supermarket and a Pinelands North Primary learner offered to take her grocery bags to her car. She went to the school and filled out a "Caught in the act …. of being good!" slip!

It involves rethinking the traditional practice of having all learners do the same assessment tasks at the same time and in the same way. The goal is to meet learners where they are and help them progress to the next step in their learning. Thus, it is a cyclical process where assessment and instruction inform each other. 3.1 Discuss how differentiated assessment challenges the traditional approach of uniform assessment tasks for all learners. [5] 3.2 How do we differentiate our assessments to give every learner the chance to illustrate what they have learnt? Give one example.
