3. Accommodations
Students receiving EIP services: Extended time Read directions/Questions Modified Assignments (Shorter, easier) Manipulatives Alternative materials Gifted Students: Focus on higher order thinking skills that thrive on complexity and creativity Encourage independent study and explore concepts in depth Employ differentiated curriculum Avoid drill and practice activities Accommodations for all students Flexible small grouping Diagnostic Tools (e. g. KWL, journals) Centers, stations, or contracts Connect the curriculum to the fields of knowledge Involve parents in learning objectives and activities Provide whole group enrichment explorations Choice boards
5. Motivational Strategies
Based on the collected data, it is apparent that the learners have a wide variety of skills as well as personal motivation. The information collected in the academic motivation survey was very insightful as it showed the students enjoy new and creative means of expressing their knowledge, but there are those students who demonstrated they are not motivated to perform the tasks necessary in order to succeed. With the help of this data, the categories listed in Kellers ARCS model for motivation can be used.
