Adaptive Teaching – Leeds

Adaptive teaching is revolutionising classroom practice, creating truly inclusive environments that empower every student to thrive. Proven to enhance outcomes for all learners, this approach is central to Teachers’ Standards, the Early Career Framework, and the OFSTED Education Inspection Framework.

Gone are the days of rigid differentiation with separate tasks and outcomes for different groups. Adaptive teaching ensures every child’s needs are met, combining whole-class strategies with personalised support. It enables teachers to build on pupils’ prior knowledge and provide targeted interventions where they’re needed most.

Embedding Adaptive Teaching into Every Aspect of School Practice

Adaptive teaching isn’t just a classroom strategy—it’s a whole-school approach that thrives when woven into the fabric of everyday practice. By putting adaptive teaching conversations at the heart of planning meetings, learning walks, and observation feedback, schools can create a culture where inclusive teaching is a priority. Regular discussions about how lessons are planned, executed, and adapted in real-time ensure that adaptive teaching remains a focus across departments. Incorporating it into the monitoring of planning processes provides leaders with a clear view of how teachers are addressing the diverse needs of their pupils, fostering a consistent and impactful approach that drives student progress across the board.
