    Although adaptive instruction has become increasingly important as a component of effective instruction, the mechanism of adaptive instruction remains underexplored. This study examined the potential associations between school climate and teacher emotions on adaptive instruction.The sample included 2880 primary school teachers from Chongqing, China. The results indicated that of the five dimensions of school climate examined, teacher collaboration, student relations, and instructional innovation had positive and significant associations with adaptive instruction.Regarding teachers' emotions, enjoyment was positively while anxiety was negatively associated with teachers' adaptive instruction. The practical and theoretical implications of these findings are also discussed.
