New teaching experiences

I am now well into my second week teaching and there many things I have learned and many more aspects of teaching I am yet to learn.
I feel, through my previous experiences, that I have good behaviour management and good rapport with the students. However, through the feedback given, there are various aspects of teaching that needs improvement. In order to develop my teaching I am going to try and focus on a particular area every week.
Differentiation is the first area. I always have three differentiated learning outcomes and can differentiate the whole group. However, I feel I need to master individual differentiation through outcome. To do this I am creating a groupings sheet based on ability. This will include pairs and groups of the same ability and pairs and groups of different abilities. From this I can group the class accordingly and progress certain individuals at different times as well as individualise the learning.
