Supporting Diverse Learning Needs
- Individualized Supportive Strategies: Offer targeted support and activities to assist students with diverse needs, ensuring their active participation in classroom activities. Make sure these are distinguished from general learning objectives.
Including Students with Varying Needs

Promoting Active Learning

Seeking and Utilizing Support
- Effective Support Services: Teachers should actively learn to ask appropriate questions. If support strategies do not meet needs, be proactive and seek alternatives.
Assessing Instructional Effectiveness
