What does an ADAPT lesson plan do?

• A. Modifies the content to fit student needs
• B. Adds topics not in the plan
• C. Meets specific student-centered needs but does not modify the content
• D. Eliminates assessments

Answer: (C)

The ADAPT lesson plan is about meeting specific student-centered needs while keeping the content the same. It focuses on adjusting how the material is delivered and how students show what they’ve learned, without changing the actual content or the learning objectives. For example, if the curriculum requires a particular science concept, you preserve that concept and its goals but tailor supports, pacing, or the way students demonstrate understanding—such as using visual aids, simplified language, or alternate assessment formats—so the learner can engage with and prove mastery of the same content. Changing the content itself would mean altering what is being taught, which isn’t what ADAPT aims for. Adding topics not in the plan would expand the scope beyond the defined lesson, and removing assessments would undermine measuring student progress.
