learning objectives, content, strategies and methods of instruction to elicit student achievement. In EDFO 487, I learned that differentiating instruction and assessments are valuable tools to employ. Since students learn in a variety of ways, it is reasonable to assess their knowledge through a variety of ways. Using various methods of assessments to gather student data to help guide instructional decisions is important to short range planning since it allows the teacher to make the…
