The learner takes detailed notes, asks questions to find out more information, seeks and responds with exact answers, and reads and writes in a highly specific manner. Accommodations: Provide detailed directions for assignments Provide checklists Provide frequent feedback and encouragement Help precise students overcome these challenges: overanalyzing information, asking too many questions, focusing on details only and not concepts Technical: working autonomously, "hands-on," unencumbered by paper-and-pencil requirements. The learner uses technical reasoning to figure out how to do things, works alone without interference, displays knowledge by physically demonstrating skills, and learns from real-world experiences Accommodations: Allow to work independently or as a leader of a group Give opportunities to solve problems and not memorize information Plan hands-on tasks Explain relevance and real world application of the learning Will be likely to respond to intrinsic motivators, and may not be motivated by grades Help technical students overcome these challenges: may not like reading or writing, difficulty remaining focused while seated, does not see the relevance of many assignments, difficulty paying attention to lengthy directions or lectures Confluent: avoiding conventional approaches; seeking unique ways to complete any learning task. The learner often starts before all directions are given; takes a risk, fails, and starts again; uses imaginative ideas and unusual approaches; and improvises. Accommodations: Allow choice in assignments Encourage creative solutions to problems Allow students to experiment or use trial and error approach Will likely be motivated by autonomy within a task and creative assignments Help confluent students overcome these challenges: may not finish tasks, trouble proofreading or paying attention to detail
Strategy #5: Options for expression and communication Purpose Examples To allow the learner to express their knowledge in different ways Allow oral responses or presentations Students show their knowledge with webs, charts, graphs, or non-linguistic representations Strategy #6: Options for executive function Purpose Examples To scaffold student ability to set goals, plan, and monitor progress Provide clear learning goals, scales, and rubrics Modeling skills and tasks Utilize checklists Give examples of desired finished product Chunk longer assignments into manageable parts Teach and practice organizational skills
