1) Teachers need to know their students' backgrounds, skills, interests, achievements and how these impact learning. They should understand students' physical, social and intellectual development. 2) Teachers must know and respect students' diverse backgrounds and understand how these affect learning. They should also understand different learning approaches and strategies to address student needs. 3) The document discusses several theories about student development and learning, including Vygotsky's socio-cultural theory, Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences. It provides examples of how to apply these theories to meet different students' needs.

- 9. Here ’ s to the kids Here’s to the kids who are different; the kids who don’t always get A’s, the kids who have ears twice the size of their peers’, or noses that go on for days. Here’s to the kids who are different, the kids who are just out of step, the kids they all tease, who have cuts on their knees and whose sneakers are constantly wet. Here’s to the kids who are different, the kids with a mischievous streak, for when they have grown, as history has shown, it’s their difference that makes them unique!
Editor's Notes
- Theoretical Perspectives Human development can be divided into a number of different aspects. Physical Development deals with changes in the body Emotional Development is a term generally used for changes in understanding, expression and regulation of feelings Social Development refers to the changes in the way an individual relates to others One theory which explores the effect different charactersitics has on students is Vygotsky ’ s socio-cultural theory. His theory asserts that cognitive development hinges on social interaction, where children learn the culture of their community (ways of thinking and behaving )through social experiences.
- Student Info: Madison, visual learner in reading recovery group, Year 4. Often seen staring into space throughout lessons and is easily distracted and also distracts others, makes little effort in participating in normal classroom activities. Implications for teaching: Differentiated activities for Madison so that she enjoyed being involved in classroom activities, e.g we used crosswords, find-a- words and celebrity heads games to teach spelling and phonics Theoretical Perspectives: Knowledge of students varied approaches to learning Learning styles – visual, audial, kinesthetic.

Lessons need to be differentiated in order for all students to be able to learn. 5. Creating an open classroom environment is key, in being able to develop a relationship with the student and for the student to feel included within the classroom and with students. 6. Develop and maintain an individual education program detailing the students level of functioning, a list of the services and resources available to the student and a description of how fully the student will participate in the regular school program Theoretical Perspectives: Sociocultural: Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs.. Where human behavior is motivated by the individual seeking to fulfill a series of hirearchy of needs ranging from lower level survival and safety needs to higher needs of intellectual achievement and self actualisation. Self actualisation is Maslow’s term for ultimate self fulfillment, the realisation of personal potential. In Maslow’s Hirearchy, each of the lower needs must be met in order to fulfill the higher needs. Needs are categorised in the following way: Physiological Needs – eg, breathing, food, water, sleep Safety Needs – eg, security of body, resources, the family, health Love and Belonging needs – eg, friendship, family Esteem Needs – eg, self esteem, confidence, achievement, respect of others, respect by others Self-actualization needs – eg, creativity, problem solving, acceptance of facts, lack of prejudice
