This revised edition explains the 'why' and 'how' of adaptive teaching and offers creative strategies for supporting all learners in early years, schools and further education.

This fully updated edition of The Ultimate Guide to Differentiation offers creative strategies for supporting all learners. Sue Cowley shows that we need to understand, acknowledge and celebrate the variety of approaches that teachers already use, as well as support them to develop additional strategies. The book takes the reader through the different methods and approaches to adaptive teaching, providing a step-by-step guide to each. It is broken down into five core areas – planning, resources, learners, teaching and assessment – and readers can dip in and out to find practical, time-saving strategies as and when they need them. This fully updated edition features a brand new chapter explaining the 'why' behind adaptive teaching and features additional strategies for supporting learners with SEND, EAL and both lower and higher attainment.

Written in Sue's much-loved realistic, honest and practical style, The Ultimate Guide to Adaptive Teaching will help teachers, practitioners and support staff to feel confident that they are meeting the needs of every learner.
