Dq1

Sensory Impairments. Discuss some of the learning needs of students with visual impairments (VI) and hearing impairments (HI). How might the characteristics of each disability affect development and learning? What accommodations could an educator make to address the needs of a student with each of these disabilities? What are some important inclusion tips to support students with VI and students with HI in the general education classroom?

Guided Response: Review your classmates’ posts and respond with your own insights and perspectives on how to support students with VI or HI in an inclusive setting. Do you agree with yourclassmates’ assertions regarding the needs of a student with a sensory impairment and how to support them in the classroom? Why or why not? 

Dq2

Diverse Learners and Differentiated Instruction. Visit the “DifferentiationCentral” website and review at least two videos of your choice. In your post, summarize the main ideas of your two videos and discuss your perspective on differentiation and how this approach can meet the needs of a diverse classroom. Additionally, what challenges will an educator have when trying to teach a lesson to a diverse group of learners? Assume the class consists of students who are considered gifted, typical students and students with disabilities.

Guided Response: Review your classmates’ posts and respond with your own insights on differentiation that you gained from the videos you watched and discussed. Share your ideas for how differentiated instruction can help meet the needs of all learners.
