Meeting Diverse Needs of
Learners Through
Learner-Centered Strategies and Equitable Access
Students want to learn
when they see relevance in their own lives through personal connections. An effective teacher will differentiate their
teaching strategies because they realize that students learn at different levels
and through different techniques. Technology
is a great tool in assisting students connect their experiences in the
classroom to prior learning. This can be
done as independent work or in simple learning centers. Students can work though learning-based
activities to reinforce vocabulary by mixing pictures, sound, and text, or assist
in teaching hard to understand topics in math or science. Allowing students to work during class or
providing extra time to work on computer-based activities in an integral part
of each lesson plan that uses technology as a learning component. As quoted in an article, Literacy in the Digital Age, “computers at schools substantially
narrow the gap in usage rates for children from high- and low-income families”.
