Utilizing differentiation strategies in the ELA classroom is vital in meeting the various needs of students and presents an opportunity to address individual personal interests, traits, and goals. Understanding how to differentiate for different learning, linguistic, and cultural needs will increase teaching efficacy. The goal of this assignment is to practice selecting reading texts to support diverse students in the English language arts classroom.

For this assignment, complete the “Differentiating for Diverse Students Chart,” appropriately selecting a reading text (fiction or non-fiction) for each student, and providing a 50-100 word rationale for each selection. The text should be engaging, culturally relevant, and selected based on the student’s unique learning needs.

In addition, in 100-150 words, describe a strategy or activity that utilizes the selected text to teach an ELA skill for each student. Rationalize your instructional choices, supported by one or more scholarly resource (which may include your text and the readings from this course).

Support your findings with 3-5 scholarly resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

This assignment uses a rubric. Review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.

Diagnostic Case Scenario

/in /by

Each student who participates in the eligibility process for special education services is unique. The Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) has the responsibility of selecting the appropriate formal and informal assessments that best measure identified student strengths and needs. Teachers must possess the knowledge of the characteristics of informal and formal assessments to fully participate as an active member of the MET and subsequently guide educational decision-making.

Review the “Multidisciplinary Evaluation Team (MET) Case Study.”

Based on your “Diagnostic Assessments Graphic Organizer” assignment from Topic 1, determine which types of assessments should be administered. Identify a minimum of three assessments and justify your decision in a 500-750 word response. Explain how the validity and reliability of each assessment supports your decision and how you will use your findings in your future professional practice.

Support your findings with 2-3 scholarly resources.

While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
