Week 9 Investment: Individualized Teaching Techniques
Individualized learning is a very interesting concept that focuses more on a specific learner's academic path. This creates more of an individualized feel and allows the students to move at their own pace. This is common in classrooms where there are gifted learners and can move at faster rates and the students that have challenges with learning and need to slow down.
This is a great opportunity to use these steps to help students that might be excelling in a unit or struggling in a unit. The individualized approach is awesome for the specific learner concept. During student teaching, this can be used to help all the students be more successful and inspire more learning through all students.
Through school, I have had teachers slow down lessons or units to help the entire class when the majority is not getting a topic. This is very helpful but challenging at the same time. When we would slow down a class, we would understand a topic better but that means you have to shorten another topic or unit. This isn't always the best solution.
My biggest question is if you use the individualized teaching approach in a unit, how do you keep everyone on a consistent schedule?
