﻿ Standard 3 Teachers understand that children learn differently. The teacher understands how pupils differ in their approaches to learning and the barriers that impede learning and can adapt instruction to meet the diverse needs of pupils, including those with disabilities and exceptionalities.

Evidence: []

Rationale: For the review of math facts, I have found the above website to assist my instruction in meeting the needs of varied ability levels for my third and fourth graders. The site offers varied approaches and multiple selection of tasks to keep the students on task and engaged in learning. It also allows me the flexibility to move freely around the room and offer personalized feedback to each student.

KSD:

3.K.2 The teacher understands and can provide adaptations for areas of exceptionality in learning—including learning disabilities, visual and perceptual difficulties, and special physical or mental challenges. //This website link allows me to meet each student at his/her ability level. The Early Math link allows below level students to use 1 to 1 ratio with pictures to solve facts. The Basic Facts link allows those students on level the added practice in the area of weakness; while the Mixed Operations link affords the above level students the challenge they need. //

3.S.1 The teacher identifies and designs instruction appropriate to students’ stages of development, learning styles, strengths, and needs. //Through commuication with classroom and special education teachers, I am able to identify each student’s strengths and weaknesses in the area of math. I am then able to individualize instruction to meet the needs of each and every student. //

3.D.1 The teacher believes that all children can learn at high levels and persists in helping all children achieve success. //I strongly believe that every child has the ability to be successful, and my goal is to help them reach their optimal level of success. //
