4. A framework for making the curriculum accessible to all
students; reducing barriers to curriculum
• Students differ in how they gather facts and
categorize what they see, hear, and read. (The
“what” of learning)
• Students differ in how they organize and
express ideas. (The “how” of learning)
• Students differ in motivation and engagement
levels. They are challenged differently and
have differing levels of excitement and
interest. (The “why” of learning)

• Alert parents of students who are notoriously
tardy

14. • Document notorious offenders on board or
chart
• Use participation grade system
• Contact parents as frequently as possible
• Use an in-class TOR system for students who
refuse to work but cause disruption-- isolate
the student from regular classroom activities
with grade penalty.

15. • Assigned Seating (Change it up occasionally
without warning)
• Use a student desk or table to make a teacher
station in the midst of the students
• Be organized, structured, and prepared each
class period. Students know when teachers do
not have it together and they capitalize on it.
15

16. • Be unpredictable in your teacher input strategies
