Standard 3 - Teachers understand that children learn differently.
The teacher understands how pupils differ in their approaches to learning and the barriers that impede learning and can adapt instruction to meet the diverse needs of pupils, including those with disabilities and exceptionalities.

Rationale:
This PowerPoint was created as an assignment for EDT674 Learning with Technology. It explains what nonlinguistic representation is and how to adapt lessons to include nonlinguistic representations for the visual learners in my classroom. There are several examples and ideas given making it easy to select one idea and add it to a lesson that I already have created.

Before completing this assignment, I never really gave any thought to including nonlinguistic representations in my lessons. I now see how I was preventing some students from learning the material successfully. Through creating this PowerPoint, I discovered several ways I could adapt lessons that I already have created. It is very easy to add diagrams to your notes or allow students to draw pictures representing a concept or term just discussed.

KSD:
//3.K.1 The teacher understands and can identify differences in approaches to learning and performance, including different learning styles, multiple intelligences, and performance modes, and can design instruction that helps use students’ strengths as the basis for growth.// This PowerPoint demonstrates my knowledge of how to create effective learning opportunities for students who learn most effectively through nonlinguistic representation or pictures or drawings. It gives examples of several different strategies to use in the classroom.

//3.S.1 The teacher identifies and designs instruction appropriate to students’ stages of development, learning styles, strengths, and needs.// A large number of students learn most successfully through visuals. This PowerPoint gives several ideas of how to adapt lessons for this type of student.

//3.D.1 The teacher believes that all children can learn at high levels and persists in helping all children achieve success.// It is important to design lessons appropriately allowing all students to feel successful. This PowerPoint gives ideas for and examples of how to design my lessons to help my visual learns be successful in my classroom.
