Demystifying Adaptive Teaching : How to Teach to the Top

Adaptive teaching allows all pupils to access the curriculum, progress, and learn. This exciting book explores the research behind adaptive teaching and provides teachers with practical, evidence-informed strategies to implement adaptive teaching in the classroom.

Addressing the three pillars of adaptive teaching – learning intentions, formative assessment, and responsive teaching – the book reveals their crucial role in implementing adaptive teaching successfully. The chapters then examine key elements of teaching and learning through the lens of adaptive teaching including:

• Assessing and consolidating prior knowledge
• Effective explanations
• Modelling
• Practice
• Scaffolding
• Questioning
• Feedback
• Retrieval practice

Part of the Teacher CPD Academy series from InnerDrive, this is essential reading for all teachers and school leaders wanting to achieve excellent adaptive teaching that will meet the needs of all learners in their classrooms.
