Yes, But I Already Differentiate

Yes, But I Already Differentiate is a practical and reflective survival guide for Learning Support teachers, classroom teachers, and school leaders navigating resistance to accommodations in schools - whether within IB programmes or other educational contexts.

Grounded in real conversations from PYP, MYP, and DP classrooms, this book unpacks the phrases Learning Support professionals hear again and again - "That's not fair," "I don't have time," "They're just lazy / not trying."

Through clear reframes, programme-specific insights, and ready-to-use language, this guide helps educators advocate for student access while preserving professional relationships, rigor, and collaboration.

With wit, empathy, and deep respect for the realities of teaching, this book validates the emotional labor of Learning Support work - and offers tools that actually work.
A must-read for IB educators who care deeply about inclusive, equitable learning - from classroom teachers to Learning Support professionals and school leaders.
