Additional Information
A wide range of skills and abilities can be addressed through student led learning, and differentiated instruction. Students' RTI accommodations should be at the forefront of all lessons planned. Different ways to show what and how the student is learning should also be presented. It could be something as simple as previewing content and vocabulary to activate previous schema, allowing more time or different ways to respond to a question. It could also be extended to encouraging students to take what they have learned and apply to multiple activities to create an environment of continued learning.
