Teachers are always learning — because every brain is unique.
Ongoing professional learning is part of teaching expertise. Teachers continually build deep understanding of neurodiversity — from ADHD and autism to dyslexia and sensory processing — to adapt how they teach, scaffold, and support.
In Aotearoa, this adaptive expertise is core to inclusive practice, helping every learner feel understood, supported, and able to thrive.
The ERO’s 2022 report Thriving at school? Education for disabled learners in schools underscores that when schools prioritise adaptive teaching, inclusion, and learner wellbeing, improved achievement follows
“The more we understand how the brain learns, the better we can support every child to reach their potential.”
Expert teachers make that science real every day — meeting each brain where it is, and helping it grow. Because no two brains learn the same — and great teaching knows that.
