Module 5 - Planning for Student Success

Through this module, I created various rubrics to grade student work and adapted each to fit students who may be Learning Disabled or who are identified as Gifted and Talented. I also explored various ways to help students to be self directed learners by creating checklists. I have found that the best method for myself is to check individual progress often during class time. This serves to help keep students on task and motivated. It is also a chance for suggestions for quality, resources ad any other help along the way.

In order to support the diverse needs of learners, it is imperative that teachers completely evaluate each students learning style and ability through prior assessment and through a thorough assessment of student's past grades, files, Individual Educational Plans, etc. I feel it is again important to be consistent with monitoring of individual student progress and work.

I have found that this module has further helped to refine the overall shape and direction of the project. I am impressed by the flexibility of the project to be adapted to fit individual student needs and learning styles. I am excited about the possibilities to incorporate this project into the History of Rock ad Roll class curriculum.
