Analyze how you can maintain high standards and demonstrate
high expectations for all ethnically, culturally, and
linguistically diverse students in the classroom.
I believe that I can maintain high standards or all of my
students by first establishing classroom management and hold
all of my students to high expectations no matter their special
population. I believe that all students can learn, it’s all about
tapping into their interests and building on what they like to do.
The specific behaviors that teachers engage in clearly
communicate their expectations for students. I can focus on the
ways in which I can ensure that my students understand that
they have high expectations as well as ways for helping my
students meet those expectations. I will differentiate instruction

Discuss how you would differentiate instruction for the
inclusion of various learning styles.
We are all smart, but in different ways. With their being
Visual/Spatial, Verbal/Linguistic, Bodily/Kinesthetic, and
Musical/Rhythmic learners in my classroom I will make sure
that my instruction fosters drawing, creating, illustrating, and
learning from photographs, videos, and other visual aids.
Reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills for my students
that are verbal and linguistic. hands-on activity: games,
movement, role-play, and building and manipulating things for
my students that are kinesthetic. And last, songs, patterns,
rhythms, instruments, chants, listening to music, and other
forms of musical expression for my students that learn better
through music and rhythm. To make my class a classroom of
inclusion, all of the students will have to interact in every
aspect of the learning process nit just what really interest them.
Reflect on ways in which you would modify instruction for
special education students.
There are students in my class that may need some
differentiated and/or individualized attention because they have
special needs related to specific physical, emotional, or
behavioral challenges. For example, I had a child in one of my
classes that could not hear as well as some of the other students.
First, I let the director know that I had a student that may need
some special attention in the classroom. I began to use the
board more in the classroom, I moved that child up to the front
of the class. And when I talked to that child or talked to the
class in general I made sure that child could see my out as it

Reflect on ways in which you will choose culturally relevant
curriculum and instructional materials that recognize,
incorporate, and reflect students’ heritage and the contributions
of various ethnic groups:
In order to have good culturally relevant curriculum, I would
gain knowledge on the various cultures that are present not just
in the classroom but school and community, then implement the
knowledge retrieve into my teachings. Have constant
involvement in discussion with my students, parents, and
community members on issues that are important to them, along
with the including them as part of the learning. By building
positive relationships and bonds not just with the students but
families as well and intertwine some of their traditions in our
lessons.
Discuss how you would differentiate instruction for the
inclusion of various learning styles:
Through tailoring my teaching to meet the needs of every child.
Whether it is differentiating the content, development,
materials, or the learning environment, the use of ongoing
assessment and flexible grouping makes this a successful
approach to instruction
. It is done by p
roviding interest centers to encourage children to explore
sections of classroom’s topic on specific interest to them. Using
leveled activities in which all learners work with the same
significant understandings and skills, but progress with
different levels of support, challenge, or difficulty.
Reflect on ways in which you would modify instruction for

4. special education students
:
By having appropriate adaptations, accommodations, and
modifications made to the instruction and other classroom
activities. Some revisions are as easy as moving a distractible
child to the front of the class. Other modifications may include
changing the way materials are presented or the way children
respond to demonstrate their learning.
Adaptations, accommodations, and modifications need to be
individualized for children, based upon their needs and their
personal learning styles, and interests. Giving children extra
time on tests and assignments. Make sure children get the
necessary services need for them to be able to succeed in
education such as speech, therapy, and one-on-one instruction.
