Defining Contemporary Adaptive Teaching

Adaptive teaching is an approach that teachers can use to personalise learning content to meet the diverse needs of students in the classroom instantly. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all model, adaptive teaching leverages data, insights and flexible strategies to adjust lessons based on students’ progress and individual needs.

This approach is transforming today’s classrooms – but what does that mean for schools like yours?

In this paper, Contemporary Adaptive Teaching: Embedding Data, Dignity and Equity, Dr. Fiona Aubrey-Smith explores how technology-enhanced adaptive teaching empowers teachers to create personalised, equitable and data-driven learning experiences.
