How do you approach planning and teaching to diverse learners? What accommodations have you made for diverse learners?
When I first read this prompt I was a bit confused. What/ who is a diverse learner? So, what do I do to help settle my confusion? Google the definition of diverse, of course. And, this is what came up “adjective
1. of a different kind, form, character, etc.; unlike: a wide range of diverse opinions.
2. of various kinds or forms; multiform.”
(Of course I already knew what diverse meant, I just needed some inspiration after my long day) So, really, this is a whole range of students that will be in my classroom.
The wonderful thing about art is that the majority of the time there is never a wrong answer. And, I think that this statement alone opens up the door to diverse learning. There is no formula that you can give all of your students to get them to have the same end product. You have to help each individual student as you go, which also allows you to build relationships with each individual student. So, really, I my mind every student that enters the door of my classroom is a diverse learner. And, you have to get to know every single student to understand how they learn best, and accommodate to their individual needs. Because, really, everyone learns differently.
