Diversity

As of right now, the students I serve in my classroom do not have any disabilities. As for the special education students, I will make sure to follow the protocol from their IEP's. I have no ESL students at the moment. By the use of technology, lectures, and community learning circles (wikis), I will reach the students who are auditory and visual learners. Visual/Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Linguistic intellgences will be implemented throughout this lesson. Students who are visual will learn through PowerPoints, wikis, and exemplars of writing. Students who are interpersonal will be working in community circles, however, their intrapersonal needs will be met through composure of the essays. Lastly, linguistic learners will thrive because all of this is writing. All work will be done in the classroom. No homework will be given. Gifted students will be required to write longer essays. Due to the expectations of writing at a collegial level and the high expectations of this classroom, all students will be expected to focus and read the same topics.
