Anyone who has been in the education industry for more than a week will understand teaching is always evolving<\/em>. As the world changes, so do young people, and the teachers\u2019 standards and lesson plans need to change with them. Each year, more research and studies show different approaches and how each student is a unique kind of learner. Ever since Aristotle claimed that \u201ceach child possesses unique talents and skills,\u201d paving the way for the theory of learning styles, teachers have worked to deliver the most high-quality teaching they possibly can. Through the internet (and nifty little blogs like these) our shared understanding of students\u2019 needs is better than ever! Adaptive teaching tailors instruction to meet unique learner needs, fostering engagement and empowerment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is Adaptive Teaching?<\/h5>\n\n\n\n
At some point in your career, either in your early years at teacher college or during professional development, you\u2019ve probably come across the theory of differentiation: tailoring lesson plans to suit the special educational needs of different students. Officially, it only came around in 1999. Differentiation is basically the principle that when it comes to education, one size does not fit all. And that idea has been around for a very long time indeed (remember our Ancient Greek friend). Differentiation can take many different forms in the classroom. It can be putting text materials on tape, using spelling or vocabulary lists at the readiness levels of students, or presenting ideas through both auditory and visual means. This style of delivering your curriculum to different groups of pupils in a variety of ways is similar to, but not quite the same as a Universal Design for Learning approach. Read our blog on UDL<\/a> to identify the differences and decide for yourself which one is best for you and your learners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
