COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES correct answers Upon the successful completion of this
course, candidates will be able to do the following at an introductory level:
Compare a variety of learning theories and instructional approaches to meet the unique needs of
learners (i.e., individual, small group, and/or whole class).
Compare knowledge of typical and atypical child and adolescent development in the
identification of appropriate instructional services (including methodologies, strategies,
resources, and technologies) to support a wide range of learners and ensure equitable access to
the curriculum.
Compare the purposes, characteristics and appropriate use (and misuse) of a wide range of
assessment practices, (e.g. formal and informal, formative and summative, progress monitoring,
and multi-tiered systems of support, performance, etc.).
Analyze data from a variety of assessments and data sources (e.g. IEP, IFSP, ITP, 504), and their
implications for learning objectives and plans; monitoring student progress; differentiating,
making accommodations, and making adaptations; identifying strategies and environmental
supports appropriate to the individual student's success, and incorporating critical and creative
thinking.
Apply effective strategies for creating a learning environment that ensures students (and their
families) are treated fairly and respectfully, and that addresses issues of intolerance and
harassment (e. g., bullying, racism, sexism, etc.) among students and others in the educational
community.

and other students learn basics
choice reading assignments
differentiated instruction can be demonstrated through correct answers content, process, and
product
examples of differentiated instruction by process correct answers learning tables for skill levels
grouping by levels of readiness
tasks based on learning styles
examples of differentiated instruction by product correct answers differing assessments
allow students to create for their own creativity - allowing students to come up with their own
ideas
