Webinar: Adaptive Expertise

For our Hot Topics webinars, IVETA is pleased to work with Skillman.eu. We are part of the SkillNet Alliance, a project that is co-funded by the European Union Erasmus+ programme.

Classroom situations around the world are becoming more and more diverse due to factors such as migration, multiculturalism, and inclusion. In order for educators to increase their output quality, these challenges should be addressed within a classroom and environmental context. 

Many educators still struggle to adapt their practice to the needs of each learner. Instead, the same routines are implemented again and again, with limited success.This webinar looks at the concept of adaptive expertise as a means of replacing routine teaching.
