HTSB standard #2 - Learner Differences
Case Study 3 - Instruction & Accommodation
ED 312A
Case Study 3- Instruction and Accommodations
Case study of Digital Media 1 course Unit 4 - Intro to Animation. The case
study identified different learning styles and accommodations and how
they were applied to the course unit.
The case study allowed me to reflect on my teaching. I was able to break
down my unit and see where I was successfully accommodating different
learning styles, and where I wasn't.
2.1: Candidate Accommodates for the Learner - The teacher uses
understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and
communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that
enable each learner to meet high standards.
The case study shows that the unit considers different learning styles and
and the instruction is designed to make accommodations for the different
learning styles.
4-Candidate ALWAYS does this as a teacher
3-Candidate MOSTLY does this as a teacher
2-Candidate SOMETIMES does this as a teacher
1-Candidate RARELY/NEVER does this as a teacher
NA-Candidate did not have the opportunity to do this
NS-Question is confusing ambiguous, or difficult to rate
All students were able to absorb the information in their own way and
then apply what they learned at their own pace.
2.3: Candidate Incorporates Learner's Language - Does
Candidate incorporate tools of language development into
planning and instruction, including strategies for making content
and academic language accessible to linguistically diverse
learners?
To improve incorporating learner’s language into my planning I need to
use academic language in my lessons. I need to use more general
instructions that students need to know to complete the activity.
