5 Instructional Strategies / Field of study in EC -6 Sped

In the field of learning you have three types of learning styles; visual, auditory, and

kinesthetic. When engaging and motivating students to learn, it is important to know how these

concepts are properly used during instruction. For a visual learner it is important to present

information by way of power point, videos, and highlighting with color makers or pencils around

pertinent material to embed it in their working memory. Now, the auditory learner gathers

information best when the concept is heard through verbal lecture and the kinesthetic learner

needs physical movement and touch to stimulate their thinking. This is how I will engage each

learning style.

In the inclusive classroom before I start working with the student, I will identify the

learner upon reading each student’s IEP. This will give me a clear synopsis of their

accommodations and who may need modification on assignments. Once that is in place, I will

implement universal design during groups. The curriculum will be structure to meet various

needs, but setup where students is able to work within their strengths. Different assessment tools

will be used to monitor and reflect on the student’s growth.

It is necessary to assess students on what they have learned throughout the weeks and

throughout the semester. This is done through, grading for independent assignments, test, and

student performing the concept on the board or creating a project of the concept they have
learned. When the tasks are graded then the student will know whether they have learned the

material.
