Analyzing Diverse Students’ Learning Needs
In this module’s Analysis, you will examine issues impacting your students’ ability to learn, and how you, as a school leader, can help improve the situation to enhance student success within the school’s curriculum.
Directions:
1) Create a Word or text document for your response. Use Times New Roman font. Follow APA format.
2) Create a title page and references page in APA format. Include an Introduction and Conclusion paragraph.
3) Identify one specific diverse-learner group in your school, district, or region (i.e. students of color, bilingual students, students with disabilities, etc.) with potential barriers to their educational success; conduct an online database search as well as research school, county, and local records.
4) Begin the paper by writing two or three well-developed introductory paragraphs describing the group’s demographics and other factors (i.e. achievement data, discipline data, home income level, etc.). Report enough information from your research to generate a comprehensive image of the student group.
5) Locate a minimum of three scholarly research sources addressing either learning or behavioral challenges of this target group.
Tutorials for conducting research are available Digital Learning Connections Resources and Tips.
6) Write a 2 to 3-page literature review summarizing the research and the application to the student group. Focus on either academic or behavior challenges.
7) In one or two well-developed paragraphs, evaluate the most critical barrier(s) for the target group’s success (i.e. literacy level, parental support, lack of school technology, class size, etc.).
8) In one to two well-developed paragraphs, assess the most effective approach to overcome barriers and improve the target group’s success (For example, if a gap exists between English learner (EL) performance and overall student performance, this might indicate a need to improve the curriculum for EL students. You might address the most effective instructional EL strategies to include in a lesson plan). Support your claims with appropriate citations.
9) For the conclusion, write one to two well-developed paragraphs, summarizing how the solution will meet the curriculum needs of the target group.
10) Follow the directions to submit your final Word or text document.
