Action Plan for Differentiation

As you begin to work in the field of education at a variety of levels, you will need to address different learner needs.  Based on your field of study, you will create a plan for using multiple teaching strategies in your future career.  Be sure to address each part of this assignment.

1. Create a learner profile for an individual student that you may encounter.  The profile should address the learner's academic abilities, cognitive function including any disabilities the learner may experience, cultural and socioeconomic background (revisit Chapter 2), and information regarding any other factor that may contribute to student success.
2. Describe the environment in which you will work.  Much of this will impact the type of strategies that you will use.  For example, the strategies that you might use while working in an Early Childhood environment would be vastly different from those you use if you are working with adult learners.
3. Create a plan to address student needs utilizing at least two strategies discussed in Chapter 13.  How will you incorporate different learning activities to meet the needs of your student?  Be sure that the strategies are appropriate for your chosen field of study.   For example, if you are studying English Language Learning, your teaching strategies would be influenced by the cultural and language barriers of the learner.  You may want to review lesson plans of other teachers and educational professionals to look for practical ideas.
4. As you would be creative in your classroom or future work environment, be creative in developing your action plan.  You may use PowerPoint,

5. Support your action plan choices with citations from the text, one scholarly resource, and at least one other Internet source.   6 slides, excluding the title and APA cited reference page.  You must address all the components of the prompt to earn full credit.  To improve your APA skills in style, formatting, citing, and referencing please visit the APA Lecture in the Learning Resources tab in the left side of the course shell.  To check and improve your college level writing please use the Ashford Writing Center resources at:
