7.1 Optimize individual choice and autonomy
Although students cannot choose what they learn, they can choose how they achieve the goal.  Students are given a choice in the tools used, rewards given, and freedom in setting their own personal academic and behavioral goals.
7.2 Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity
Design authentic activities that are personally, culturally and socially relevant.  Fiction can be just as relevant as non-fiction so provide tasks that allow for participation, exploration, experimentation, and allow use of imagination.
7.3 Minimize threats and distractions
Create a safe space for students.  When learners have to rely on having basic needs met, or avoiding the bully in the room, learning will not be successful.  Keep in mind the challenges an ESL learner may experience and what an overstimulating environment for students with sensory issues will do.  Be sure to include everyone in class discussions.]]> 2022-11-06 12:34:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cmjohn26/tpkrsgby9ayjl3kc/wish/2371631629 cmjohn26 https://padlet.com/cmjohn26/tpkrsgby9ayjl3kc/wish/2371647758 Learning is difficult when information provided requires extraordinary effort to perceive.  Provide information through vision, hearing, or touch and in formats that can be enlarged and sounds may be amplified.
