Biography

Cat Chowdhary is a Deputy Head of Teaching and Learning, living in Abu Dhabi with her family. With over a decade in education, she has developed a passion for pedagogy and shares practical insights into teaching best practices through her books, focusing on evidence-based research.

Morgan Whitfield is an experienced senior leader, author, course designer, and international speaker who advocates for high challenge learning.

'This is a thoughtful, humane and intellectually serious account of adaptive teaching. Morgan Whitfield and Cat Chowdhary show why true inclusion is not about lowering the bar, but about holding high expectations alongside precise, responsive support.'
Mary Myatt, Education Adviser, Writer and Speaker

'In writing ‘Adaptive Teacher: Challenge for Every Learner’, Chowdhary and Whitfield have produced a book with wave upon wave of ideas for every teacher and leader. It navigates you through the history of differentiation and adaptive teaching, stops to explore key practices, such as scaffolding and metacognition, before ending the journey with a look ahead to the future of adaptive expertise.'
Alex Quigley, Head of Content and Engagement at Education Endowment Foundation, UK

'Cat Chowdhary and Morgan Whitfield lay down the gauntlet in this book and ask classroom teachers to teach in ways that enable every child to succeed and every child to be confident and happy. They are unafraid to dismantle some of the existing orthodoxies, and in doing so, skillfully combine research evidence with concrete teaching ideas borne out of their own deep classroom experience. This eminently practical book is a must for the thinking teacher.'
Deborah Eyre, Educational Writer and Founder of High Performance Learning
