How do teachers stay true to the design of Bookworms while still responding to the learners in front of them? In this session, participants will explore the tension between fidelity and adaptive practice and consider when, why, and how lesson adjustments can support students without compromising instructional intent. Educators will examine strategies for balancing consistency and flexibility, using reflective practice to guide decisions, and maintaining high-quality instruction that benefits every learner.
