Benchmark – Supporting Diverse Student Needs Britney Scott College of Education, Grand Canyon University ELM 500: Child and Early Adolescent Development and Psychology Dr. Carrie O’Donnell April 24, 2024
Development As a third-grade teacher at Oak Street Elementary, it is my job to know the many differences my students have and use that as an advantage to create differentiated lesson plans and activities to fit the needs of everyone. Every student is different and has different needs. Getting to know each student will help me to learn what will work for them so they can reach their educational goals. It is important that I accommodate every learner in my classroom. This can be done by differentiation. Differentiated instruction recognizes the value and worth that exist in everyone; it allows students from all backgrounds and with diverse abilities to demonstrate what they know, understand, and are capable of doing” (Gentry, 2013). After going over the case study it is explained the difference between Sena, Alicia, and Jeremy’s cognitive, social, emotional, linguistic and physical development. This paper will break down ways that can be used to provide each child with a proper learning experience. Using Knowledge for Differentiation The following students attend third grade at Oak Street Elementary School. They all come from different backgrounds and are on different levels educationally. Providing them with a differentiated learning environment will create a safe space for each of these students to learn together. As well as allowing them to participate in the same learning activities while changing the information being learned based on their needs will support them. Alicia Hernandez
Alicia Hernandez is approaching her third year at Oak Street and have great recommendations from prior teachers regarding her class participation. She loves art and is socially active with her classmates as well as in group settings. Although Alicia is socially excelling, she struggles meeting the mark academically and previous educators were unable to support her learning growth. Alicia’s math and reading skills are at a first-grade level. Jeremy Smith Jeremy Smith is approaching his fourth year at Oak Street. He is a gifted student who completes assignments well above grade level. Jeremy has a disability and uses a wheelchair. Jeremy often feels left out in social interactions with classmates because of his disability. His depression is caused by the feelings of being different and the inability to physically participate the way his peers can. These feelings can cause Jeremy to act irrationally out. Sena Kim Sena Kim is an English Language Learner who comes from a Korean-only- speaking household. She is attending Oak Street for her second year. Sena excels on assignments that are given in Korean but is struggling to adapt to English coursework and oral instruction. She is not comfortable socially but seems to be coming out of her shell. When her assignments are given in her native language, Sena is on grade-level in reading and well above grade level in math. Differentiation
