This Adaptive Teaching CPD PowerPoint presentation and resource pack are designed to help you tailor learning effectively for every student in your classroom. Packed with evidence-informed teaching strategies, the package also includes a self-assessment audit to support reflection on your current practice and help identify areas for growth.
A range of visuals for CPD/PLD teaching and learning theories, strategies and ideas such as Rosenshine, retrieval practice, feedback, Bloom, modeling and others.
This Adaptive Teaching PowerPoint is designed for staff training or CPD sessions and focuses on developing a clear understanding of the difference between differentiation and adaptive teaching. Perfect for use in teacher professional development meetings, INSET sessions, or department training, the resource supports teachers in embedding adaptive teaching strategies within everyday classroom practice.
The PowerPoint is structured to deliver approximately one hour of training, combining clear explanations, reflective discussion points, and practical tasks for staff to complete individually or collaboratively. It explores what adaptive teaching looks like in practice, how it differs from traditional differentiation approaches, and how teachers can adjust teaching to meet the needs of all learners without creating unnecessary workload.
The training includes:
• Clear explanations of adaptive teaching vs differentiation
• Opportunities for staff discussion and reflection
• Interactive tasks and prompts for collaborative thinking
• Practical examples teachers can apply in the classroom
• Flexible slides that can be adapted to suit different schools or contexts
The resource is fully editable, allowing leaders or facilitators to tailor the training to their school priorities, add examples from their own setting, or extend activities depending on the time available.

All resources have been designed, created and/or constructed by myself, all used in my own teaching currently and in the past.
This ‘Theories of Learning’ series of powerpoint presentations includes an introduction to Chomsky, Piaget, Skinner, Vygotsky & Bruner. There are 5 presentations in this series. Each presentation (PPT) includes a neat introduction to the common theories of learning. Useful for professional development in schools with Teaching Assistants, Teachers and also psychology students.
This resource pack is comprised of:
1.) Observation & Learning Walk Performance Grid
2.) Marking and Feedback Performance Grid
For use alongside lesson observations, learning walks, and book monitoring, these succinct performance grids enable observers to gauge, categorise, and feedback on teaching and learning sessions using OFSTED guidance for effective teaching. The documents provide descriptors of ‘outstanding’, ‘good’, ‘requires improvement’ and ‘inadequate’ practice within appropriately considered teaching and learning focus areas, for example: Questioning, Positive Feedback, Use of Additional Adults, etc. Schools who still grade individual teachers have noted that these are helpful aids in arriving at an overall judgement.
These teaching and learning CPD sessions offer engaging and original approaches to introducing or revisiting a range of effective pedagogical strategies. Grounded in educational research, these sessions are interactive, well-structured, and have been successfully tried and tested.
The aim of each teaching and learning CPD session is to develop the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed in order to utilise in practice in each key area, and as an aid in achieving these aims, the trainer is supported with:
-Colourful, engaging, and comprehensive PowerPoint presentations;
-Videos for analysis of key techniques;
-A wide range of interactive resources for CPD activities;
-Instructions and plans to assist delivery.
All images and videos are licensed for commercial use, and are cited on the final slide of each PowerPoint.

Imagine a learning environment where learners are no longer passive recipients of information, but active architects of their own knowledge. A place where curiosity is sparked, creativity is fostered, and critical thinking is nurtured. This is the vision of constructivist learning theory, an approach to education/training that turns traditional teaching methods on their head. By recognising that learners construct their own understanding of the world through experiences and social interactions, constructivist learning theory empowers educators to create environments that are dynamic, collaborative, and learner centred. In this article I discuss the principles of constructivist learning theory, exploring how it can be applied to transform the way we teach and learn, and ultimately, unlock the full potential of our learners.
This is a SOW that was written by me for the COSIM/LESP project. It attempts to help students overcome their misconceptions on the phenomena linked to particle theory. It recomends using the LESP computer programme, but any particle simulation programme will do, so long as students can place the particles where they want to....alternately drawing storyboards also works.
This is a teacher-training resource comprising 47 slides that I compiled for refreshing teachers on the essentials of teaching and learning. It covers all of the basics, and is designed to be delivered as a one-day workshop. This could be adapted to cover a series of INSET sessions or PD twilights, too.
Topics covered include:
Lesson planning
Active Engagement
Cognitive Load Theory
Learning games
Use of feedback tools like Word Clouds
Spatial Learning
Curriculum Mapping
Please note: You will need to read through these slides and check them before delivery, as they will need to be tailored to your organisation.
The slides also link to some interactive quizzes I’ve created especially for this workshop at Blooket, Quizlet, Quizziz and so on. These should all be publicly available and working correctly.
I’ve also included some Nearpod slides as a bonus - I recommend that you upload these to Nearpod and create your own lesson in their for that section of the workshop (this won’t take long, and you can use the free version of Nearpod).
