This can be applied to all aspects of T&L –consolidating prior knowledge, modelling, practice, scaffolding, feedback, retrieval practice, questioning and more.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

For explanations, this can be achieved through introducing more complex content and ‘wider’ content and introducing the content in wider chunks.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

Increased challenge is needed if the content is relatively simple, if we think our pupils are likely to grasp it easily when planning lessons, of if checking for understanding during the lesson demonstrates high levels of understanding.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

For explanations, this can be provided by repeating explanations, simplifying explanations, breaking the explanation into smaller chunks, and providing more or different examples, non-examples and additional graphics.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

Increased support is needed if the content is complex, if we think our pupils are likely to struggle to fully comprehend the content when planning our lessons, of if checking for understanding during the lesson demonstrates learning gaps or misconceptions.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

For example, characteristics of effective explanations for all pupils include clarity, chunking, examples and non-examples, linking to prior knowledge, q’s for listening and rehearsal, graphics and analogies…

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

3. Providing additional challenge if the material is simple or if learners are likely to or do grasp the content easily.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

How?
Adaptive teaching involves three aspects:
1.Ensuring you are using the evidence-informed techniques that are most effective for all learners.
2.Providing additional support if the material being covered is complex or if learners are likely to or do struggle to fully grasp the content…

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

… and following the lesson when they decide which pupils may need further support or if it is necessary to reteach or revisit any content.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

When? Adaptive teaching takes place during lesson planning when teachers consider how easily they think pupils may grasp a new concept or skill and how complex this new content is, during the lesson when they flexibly adapt their instruction based on the learning taking place…

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

What? Adaptive teaching occurs when teachers adapt their instruction to meet the needs of all learners.

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 24

Adaptive teaching: A Thread…

Adaptive teaching is crucial to high quality, inclusive education that enables pupils to achieve success. So, what is adaptive teaching, when does it take place and how can it be implemented?

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 12

and non-examples
-Modelling inc worked examples, live modelling, silent modelling and pupil-centred modelling
-Effective modelling: verbalising thinking, increasing thinking/ratio, chunking models and practice

Jade Pearce @mrspearce.bsky.social · Feb 12

Another great session with @aimeetinkler.bsky.social for Coventry MAT, this time on introducing new content:
-Explanations that build on and explicitly link to pupils' prior knowledge
- Questioning for listening, rehearsal and understanding during explanations
-Use of graphics, examples 1/

📚Engaging with research evidence.
So many of the approaches are central to the work we have been doing at Affinity Learning Partnership across our Education Leaders, Q of E, behaviour and SEND networks.

Brilliant conversation with Sam today for the ‘The Power of Teams’ podcast reflecting on my case study in his brilliant book. We discussed how to create learning teams inc:
⬆️ Identifying priorities
✍️Implementation
🧠Creating a developmental and learning culture
