Assignment
Case Study
In this course, you have adapted an activity to accommodate different needs of learners, and you have described a progress monitoring plan you might use to gauge students' learning after the adaptations. Imagine that, after you have done these things, there is a learner who is still not learning. This case study activity is designed to give you practice problem-solving in such a situation.
Instructions
Focus on one student from the class you have observed, and write 3 to 4 pages case study that includes the following:
o A rationale for studying this child and for the need for differentiation.
o A detailed description of the relevant facts and data collected. Gather this information from the teacher you are working with and your observations. (If you were the teacher, you might gather this information from the student's parents, from previous teachers, or from files on the student.)
o An analysis of the relevant facts and data, based on an understanding of learning styles, cognitive processes, and instructional strategies.
o Suggestions for the most appropriate future practices; what works for this child?
A case study utilizes in-depth data collected from multiple sources, and in this final project, you will use information you have gathered throughout the course to make suggestions about a child's learning. You may use the psychologist's and the teacher's replies to your questions, together with your lesson plan and classroom observation, and your weekly readings will add to your knowledge.
To protect confidentiality, please do not mention real names of those you observe or their school.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
o The answer should be typed, using Times New Roman font (size 12), double spaced, with one-inch margins on all sides.
