classroom and list the supports, accommodations, modifications, and/or pertinent IEP goals.

Students will hear see and be involved in doing the material to adapt to different learners

Instruction: Delivering Effective Instruction
Choose instructional strategies, learning tasks, activities, and materials aligned with goals and appropriate to
all students, including diverse and exceptional learners. Recognize student variance (special needs, readiness
levels, experiences, exceptionalities, interests, etc.) and respond to that variance with differentiated
instruction rather than one-size-fits-all instruction. Consider differentiation of a) content/what you teach
(difficulty level, higher-level questions, etc.); b) process/how you teach (scaffolding, extensions, peer tutor,
etc.); c) product/how students show what they know (fewer problems, oral vs. written, extended time,
learning contracts, etc.).
