Desired Learning Outcomes

• Identify the needs, strengths, interest and experiences of my learners
• Demonstrate knowledge and understandings of differentiated teaching to suit
learners; gender, needs, strengths, interests and experiences.
• Research on one (1) study about the diversity of learners.
Essential Questions
• What is meant by diversity of learners?
• How do learners differ?
• What differentiated activities must be applied to suit learners' needs, strengths,
interests and experiences?
Understandings
Diversity of learners refers to the differences among students most especially in the
way they learn in a variety of settings, through a variety of processes with varied
outcomes.
Teachers can facilitate the learning process among diverse learners by first
recognizing and respecting individual differences, then using the knowledge about
students' differences to design differentiated learning activities to ensure that all students
can attain desired learning goals. (PPST Domain 3)
Teaching Internship 34
Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers, Article Vill Sec. 3 dictates that "Under no
circumstance shall a teacher be prejudiced nor discriminatory against any learner."
Learners' differences stem from many factors: gender, race, ethnicity or cultural
background (nationality, province, language) intellectual abilities, religions, sexual
preferences and socio economic status, needs, interests, strengths and experiences.
• All learners have different ways of thinking, learning and absorbing.
• Students' self awareness is enhanced by diversity.
• Student diversity contributes to cognitive development. It can also promote

harmony.
• Learners are diverse and subjects must be taught differently to respond to their
needs, interests, strengths and experiences.
• Reach every student at his/her level.
• Assist your students to grow and celebrate success.
• All learners are worthy of respect and dignity.

Task 2 They are auditory, visual and tactile leaners. Cite
applications on how you can stimulate their strengths,
needs and experiences based on their learning
modalities.
Types of Learners How shall I stimulate learning through

based on Learning their learning modalities?
Modalities
• Use visual representations like

graphs, tables, charts, and
spreadsheets.
• Use 3D manipulatives to represent
problems.
• Use multimedia software or
applications when available to
create and review visual
representations.
• Solving math problems with the
Visual help of colors.
• Have students write a sequence of

steps in sentence form and then
read them out loud. Actually
hearing the problem-solving
process will help to solidify it.
• Use mnemonics and word links for
important math concepts or
problem-solving processes.
Rhyming is helpful when possible.
• Maintain order in the classroom.
Any activities that encourage
talking will have a tendency to lead
Auditory to talking that is unrelated to math.
• Use hands-on experiences
whenever possible. Create
manipulatives.
• Help them prepare a multimedia
project related to their maths
project work.
• Get learners make diagrams and
mind-maps of concepts and
problem-solving processes.
• Solving problems with pencil and
Tactile paper or calculator
Performance Create a teaching matrix of differentiated teaching based

Abstract
This study is an evaluation of an MPA program
intervention designed to enhance cultural
competency by increasing program diversity. The
intervention, part of a larger diversity plan,
attempted to increase the diversity of the student
body by changing the program delivery mode to an
internet-assisted synchronous model. The outcomes
were measured in several ways including a survey
of the current and former students, which
addressed attitudes about diversity. The results
showed that as credit hours in the program
increased so did positive attitudes toward diversity,
measured in four ways. Specific recommendations
are offered related to diversity, as part of a larger
strategic program management framework.
