From Differentiation to Adaptive Teaching

---

Meeting every learner where they are—every day.

While differentiation focuses on planning for varied needs, adaptive teaching goes a step further—responding flexibly in the moment to support all pupils' progress.

This course helps teachers shift from static lesson planning to dynamic, responsive teaching, using real-time judgement, formative assessment, and scaffolding techniques that adjust to pupils' needs as they emerge. Rooted in the latest research and best practice, it equips educators to be both intentional and agile.

In this course, you will learn to:

• Understand the key differences between differentiation and adaptive teaching
  
  

• Use assessment for learning to inform live instructional decisions
  
  

• Plan lessons with flexibility and responsiveness in mind
  
  

• Support high expectations while providing scaffolded access for all
  
  

• Avoid common pitfalls of over-complication or lowered challenge
  
  

Ideal for teachers who want to create inclusive, high-impact classrooms where every learner is supported to succeed.
