Adaptive Teaching including stretch and challenge followed by reflection on the programme.

Tuesday 10^th June 2025, 9:00am – 3:30pm, at Stanway Fiveways Primary School.

This session will focus on moving from differentiation to adaptive teaching, ensuring that all learners have the opportunity to experience success and meet the learning expectations. Time will be spent exploring how the effective use of formative assessment, questioning, scaffolding adaptations and additional adults are key in optimising pupil outcomes. This session will be delivered by two different facilitators; one focussing on SEND and one focussing on challenge and stretch.

This session will then conclude with time for the teachers to reflect upon the programme and the CPD they have received, the impact it has already had on their practice and what the next steps are for their practice.
