"We contend that teacher adaptability is an important component of teacher effectiveness—one that is in line with research and theory on exemplary teachers, that honors the complexity of classroom instruction, and that considers the teacher’s impact on important student outcomes."
—Parsons, Williams, Burrowbridge, & Mauk, p. 22
