How Can Instruction Be Differentiated For Diverse Learners?

    Why are diverse teaching strategies a must in every classroom some might wonder?

Multiple strategies for teaching students lessons is one of the most important factors in a classroom

because no two students learn the same. In your  classroom you could have a student with a learning

disability or students who do not have learning disabilities but it is important to be able to teach each

type of student. By only being able to accommodate students who do not have learning disabilities a

teacher will not only be providing a classroom that does not have equal opportunities for learning but

creating an even larger struggle for students who have a form of a learning disability. Some students

learn better with visuals, some learn through examples, and some can pick up the material with just

following along in a book. When a teacher gets a new roster of kids each year that teacher is going to

have a mixture of students who all learn differently. It should then be that teacher's goal to provide the

material in multiple different ways to help each student succeed! To me this means teaching all lessons

using many different strategies of learning for each lesson. When students do not understand what they

are being taught in the way that lesson is being presented to them it causes self doubt and frustration.By

accommodating different learning styles in the classroom it will help balance the classroom and cause

less frustration in the students. It is the teachers job to make sure that every student has an equal

opportunity to grasp the material. This topic is extremely important to me because I was the student in a

classroom with dyslexia who struggled with certain parts of material. Being someone with a learning

disability I have an idea of the struggles that kids face because I was that kid. I do not want to say I know

what they are going through or feel because as i mentioned earlier no two kids are alike. Therefore I

Inspire to be the teacher who provides equal learning opportunities to each kid in my class using a variety

of different teaching methods.
