CLO 1: 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).
CLO2: 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.
CLO3: 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.
Deliverable
Create an electronic presentation (Prezi, PPT, Weebly, etc.) on Learning Theories. You must include for each given theory the connections to UDL and also to your current teaching schema of your whole class and your 3 Focus Students (ITL 604). How are you currently using theories in your teaching practices and which learners are you targeting this learning theory for (who does it provide additional access to?).
You must provide a reference page and have citations throughout your presentation of the learning theories. Be creative – you may use videos, pictures, charts or other multi-modal (be sure to use citations).
Resources
In order to access some of the information, familiarize yourself with the following resources to use in the following activity. USE THEM ALL to complete the assignment. That being said, you should have all of these in your references and using them as citations BUT you can also find additional resources with the criteria that the resource is current (in the last 5 years) and is research based (not someone’s opinion).
