About Event:

Adaptive teaching allows teachers to honor differences and use the awareness of differences to adapt instruction to maximize the potential of each learner. With the increasing demands of school leaders and classroom teachers to meet a vast variety of learning needs, adaptive teaching provides a response to the needs. These differences in the classrooms result from students coming to us with different ability levels, different experiences, as well as different cultural values and practices. Teachers and classrooms are expected to address those different levels, abilities and perspectives. In this workshop, participants will discover a practical and intentional process for the planning and implementing of adaptive teaching. Participants will gain tools to use knowledge about each student for decision-making and managing the multiple needs within a classroom. This workshop will provide strategies to meet the needs of both highest performing students and struggling students within one lesson. Participants will gain new teaching practices that make a significant difference to student learning.
