Adapting teaching methods

There is evidence that mainstream teachers find it easier to adapt their teaching approach than to modify curriculum content (Chan et al., 2002); and there is evidence that they can be helped to increase their adaptive teaching competencies through specific coaching (Vogt & Rogalla, 2009). Studies have also suggested that teachers who work, or have worked, in special education tend to incorporate more adaptations naturally in their lesson planning (Potter, 1992).
