Inclusive education & mainstreaming; Teaching of specific learning difficulties & needs

Adaptive Teaching offers a grounded, compassionate guide to inclusive education. Based on a highly successful CPD program, it is a thoughtful guide for teachers and school leaders who wish to learn more about special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and gain sensible advice on how to teach inclusively by working smarter, not harder.

By focusing less on labels and more on cognitive load, executive functioning and working memory and communication, the reader is equipped to cater for the needs of pupils with SEND in much more productive and sensitive ways. Rather than seeing the children as the barrier, this approach encourages teachers to understand the barriers that they are faced with, and this shift in perspective makes adaptive teaching feel achievable and transformative. Structured around four key areas (culture, brains, teaching and curriculum), this book connects theory to practice with clarity and purpose.

Adaptive teaching is not about adding more to a teacher's workload. It's about refining what we already know works, using pragmatic teaching and learning strategies and pupil-centered practice with greater care and intentionality. It means teaching to the margins and enabling pupils with additional needs to flourish, feeling a part of (rather than outside) our classroom culture.

Suitable for teachers and school leaders working in mainstream education, as well as special school or alternative provision staff.
