  • If students need notebooks - hand 5-6 notebooks to a few students to hand out while others go to their seats.
  • If all notebooks are in students folders or basket - spread baskets in groups of 5 or 6 around the room so all students are not going to one area.
  • Are all the writing supplies in one place? separate supplies around the room again so all students are not flocking to one area
  • computers are an issue - as long as all computers are sure to be charged each night - during the day they can also be spread out in the room to create less chaos

  • In each question highlight/bold/enlarge/ underline the keys words
  • if there is more than one part to a question - separate the questions to a separate line so students can easily notice that there is more than one part
To differentiate more:
  • put each question with the above changes each on a new piece of paper - you can give each question one at a time.  
  • If you have students that have mastered the first few questions - skip those for them - if you have students struggling after the first few questions stop there.
Other Options: 
always offer variety of ways to respond - ie: written, oral, video, poster...

Extra time - be clear 
alternative location to test
noise blocker
read aloud questions

have students sit in different locations - in front of room for math, in back of room for reading....

wear costumes that match lesson - hats, glasses, coats....  then when needing to recall info you can say "remember when I had the great hat on - or remember when I walked the corner of room or stood on the chair to talk about ......"

When there are students that you know need more clarity - when sending students to work after giving instruction - invite students that want more clarity to the rug - be sure to name a few that you want to come to the rug - for those students that always have questions but do not really need that support - tell them to get started and see you in 5 minutes if they still have questions after they tried on their own.

Auditory - 
  • Is the room too noisy or is the student to far away to hear the teacher the first time??
  • Does a student need a noise blocker or head set to block out excessive volume in the room?
Visual - 
  • Is the room filled with too much decoration so that a student cannot get past it to focus?
  • Are the worksheets too cluttered with information or decoration to allow focusing on the important items?
classroom organization: 
  • Are materials easy to access? does this hold a student back from getting started?
