OBJECTIVE 9
Designed, adapted and implemented teaching strategies
that are responsive to learners with disabilities, giftedness and talents

PROMPT #1
Context: Clara is often seen restless or unfocused in class. She also has troubles following instructions and skips
activities when left unsupervised.
Action Taken: You had a conference with her parents and found out from them that Clara was diagnosed with a
learning disability.

How will you modify the instructions for Clara to keep her focus on classroom activities? Write your reflections in
this form. Mention in your reflections a specificYOUR REFLECTIONS
learning disability that you are familiar with or have researched on.

A learner with a learning disability struggles in one or more learning domains. Learning difficulties may be
present when a learner sincerely attempts to comprehend and practice regularly yet continues to have trouble
mastering particular skills over an extended period. Dyslexia is one example of a specific learning problem.
Reading, spelling, and writing abilities are all impacted by dyslexia, a learning condition.

I will study further and learn more about Clara’s impairment to understand better how I will manage her in my
class. This will aid Clara in her lessons and help her concentrate on her classroom tasks. I’ll look into different
teaching methods based on her impairment. Clara’s strengths, limitations, knowledge, and skills will all be
evaluated as part of the diagnostic assessment, which will also help me determine Clara’s current academic and
functional performance level. For instance, to teach the letter sounds for each alphabet, she must first be able to
recognize and name the letters of the alphabet. With this, I can design practical training and provide her activity
sheets that have been customized to fit her level.

To further assist Clara, I will make a modification or accommodation, such as giving her more time to finish
assignments or tests or lowering difficulty of her work by dividing them into smaller, more straightforward tasks. For
instance, I’ll let her finish three of her five math tasks. And I will constantly tell Clara to keep working and to
concentrate on her given task to assist her in paying attention in class. To help her with her seatwork, I will assign
her a learning partner (peer teaching). Reducing distractions while we are in class will also benefit her if I allow her
to sit close to the chalkboard and away from the door or window.

Furthermore, kids with learning disabilities are more likely to exhibit behavioral issues since these issues can
cause them to fear that they are not like their peers, which can cause them to misbehave in public or at home.
Some students with special needs purposefully commit acts of vandalism to get away from their peer groups in the
classroom. They could not have faith in what they do. Because of this, a teacher must comprehend the cause of
the student’s unruly behavior. The most effective strategy to encourage pupils to quit acting out improperly is
frequently using positive reinforcement to control their behavior. Let us show these students some considerations
because we know that the disorder is a challenging circumstance for them to deal with.

As a teacher, I should know the symptoms and indicators of learning disabilities. Learning disabilities can be
better understood by more individuals, especially teachers so that appropriate measures can be implemented to
assist these students. Let us teach kids that studying in varied ways is acceptable and that they are not capable of
learning but also of excelling.

YOUR REFLECTIONS

Indigenous people are the keepers of unique cultures, traditions, languages and knowledge of their
group where they are included. In this era, Indigenous People’s culture, traditions, beliefs and the like
are given more opportunities to be included and embraced in the educational system.

In the given situation, the teacher clearly takes into consideration the culture of his/her students
that are included in the class. It is because, if the teacher uses the words or labels that they are
accustomed to, it will be easier for the students belonging to the IPs to understand the lesson and also,
they will feel a sense of belongingness to the class that they are into. The teacher also used
differentiated instruction showing that his/her students from the IP group can choose either of the two
sets to answer. Therefore, it is imperative that they shouldn’t feel discriminated and left out for they are
also entitled of equal opportunity to be educated and have a better future.

As a teacher, being knowledgeable and sensitive about my student’s background can help me
establish a well-prepared lesson plan that embraces inclusivity and diversity among learners. By doing
so, it promotes a healthy environment so that the learners will feel secured and included. We should be
the epitome in promoting inclusivity and we should let our students see that embracing other peoples’
cultures, customs, and traditions can promote equality and love for learning.
