Adaptive teaching is not about creating different worksheets or reducing expectations. It is about every pupil – across the primary phase – accessing the same ambitious curriculum, with the right support at the right moment.

This 90-minute interactive webinar puts adaptive teaching into practice. Grounded in the latest EEF evidence, it focuses on three things that make an immediate difference in any classroom:

• Checking for understanding in a way that genuinely reaches every pupil
• Making confident in-the-moment decisions about what to do next
• Scaffolding that opens up access without removing challenge or creating dependency.

At the heart of this session is a practical toolkit – phase-specific strategies and adaptations from Early Years through to upper Key Stage 2 – that you can open on Monday morning and use straight away. It is rooted in inclusion – the belief that adaptive teaching, done well, is simply what great teaching looks like for every child.

Learning outcomes:

• Explain the difference between differentiation, scaffolding and adaptive teaching and why the distinction matters for every pupil across the primary phase
• Select and use practical techniques to check for understanding in a way that reaches every learner
• Identify barriers to learning quickly and make confident in-the-moment decisions about how to respond
• Choose and apply scaffolds that give pupils access to ambitious learning without removing challenge or creating dependency
• Use the adaptive teaching toolkit to plan responsive, inclusive lessons within their own classroom context.

Audience: This session is for teachers at any stage of their career.
