How a First-Year Geography Teacher Adapts Instruction to Respond to Her Students

Abstract

Adaptive teaching is a pedagogical approach which encourages teachers to adapt their teaching practices to deliver custom learning experiences by addressing students’ individual needs and differences. This article describes how one beginner geography teacher adapted instructional practices to meet her students’ learning needs. First, we provide a brief background of adaptive teaching and its benefits. Using interview data, we then share specific examples of the teacher’s adaptive teaching as well as the challenges she encountered in endeavors to support her students’ learning as she purposefully adapted her teaching practices, materials, and instruction.
