Summative Course assessment
Several students in your fifth grade class are disengaged during math instruction and discussions. One student has an IEP (Individualized Education Program) for ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder), one student has an IEP for dyslexia, one student has an IEP for visual impairment, and one student has severe language development concerns preventing understanding of instructional material.
Citing major concepts, principles, and theories, write a 750-1,000 word essay in which you describe instructional strategies along with the differentiation you would implement that would encourage them to participate and develop more confidence in their abilities.
In your essay, include:
- Strategies that support engagement in the class as a whole, the role of language, and readiness of learning, based on the theories learned in class.
- How you would modify instruction by applying the concepts and theories related to development (cognitive, linguistic, social, emotional, and physical).
- How you will create developmentally appropriate instruction that takes into consideration the students’ strengths, differences, interests, and needs.
- Strategies that can be implemented for motivation and acquisition of knowledge.
- Strategies to provide equitable access for all students to appropriate digital tools and resources.
Support your findings with a minimum of 3-5 scholarly resources.

Individualized Education Programs
The learning process can only be viewed as successful if the learners attain some level of skill or knowledge from the classroom interaction with their tutor. Therefore, teachers often make an effort to ensure that the learners comprehend the content as much as possible. However, with the level of learning abilities often varying among learners, it is at times essential to invest in individualized education programs, which would guarantee that learners with lower learning ability gather as much from the classroom as the fast learners. However, identification of ideal learning strategies would be essential for the successful implementation of such individualized education programs.
