Differentiating Instruction Project (example paper provided)
This paper is about DIFFERENTIATING INSTRUCTION and should be about 5 pages (APA STYLE).
Follow these directions:
1.Choose one of the following groups:
Students with…
žLearning disabilities
žADD/ADHD
žIntellectual disabilities
žBehavior/emotional disorders
žAutism
žCommunication disorders
žHearing loss (specify deaf or hard-of-hearing)
žVision loss (specify blind or low vision)
2.Then write a 5 page answer (NOT including title page and reference page) to this question:
What would I do to differentiate instruction in my classroom for students with (your choice from above)?
**If you will not work as a classroom teacher of students with IEPs (or those who are gifted/talented), write a five-page answer to this question:
How would I recommend that the general education teacher differentiate instruction in his/her classroom for students with (your choice from above)?
Some of the topics you might write about are the teaching strategies, accommodations, curricular adaptations, instructional materials and technologies, assistive technology, and/or behavior intervention you might use with students. Your ideas and recommendations must not be based on your own anecdotes or made up. They should be based on the research and/or your readings. You will have to use the library resources to access at least one journal article. Remember to CITE the sources you use. Using others’ work without citing is plagiarism.
Topics should NOT include things teachers cannot provide (surgery, hearing aids, wheelchairs, sign language interpreters) and should be specific (suggesting “make accommodations” is not specific enough—what accommodations would you make?)
Paper
To report your research and recommendations, you will write a roughly 5 page paper, including an introduction and conclusion, presenting and proposing recommendations to the prompt. Your paper should include the following:
Describe the disability and characteristics that will be addressed by your recommendations.
Propose 3-5 detailed recommendations designed to provide the differentiated instruction for the disability you have identified. Number and provide a rationale for each recommendation, addressing how it will provide access to the classroom content. Give your idea, what it will look like in the classroom and then use your research as your rationale. This is the “meat” of your paper and will demonstrate how well you have processed the research and evidence gathering you have done.
Conclude with a summary and a 2-3 paragraph reflection on the assignment, what you experienced and what you learned about differentiated instruction for the disability area you chose and how it will give better access to the classroom instruction for the students with disabilities.
Additionally, you may find these sources helpful:
Your textbook (reference: Friend, M. (2018). Special Education: Contemporary Perspectives for School Professionals (5th Edition). New York: Pearson.)
The journals and websites listed as Resources on the class Moodle site or linked in presentations
The IRIS Center at http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/resources.html (Links to an external site.)
Provide a list of 3-5 references on a separate sheet at the end of your paper. References must include at least one professional journal, and also may include books (your textbook is recommended).
Please follow the direction and using professional journals as references. After you done, please send me your professional journals as PDF.
