Write a 1,200-word research-based essay that describes a plan for teaching a diverse class how to view, interpret, analyze, or represent information from a learning standard selected from your endorsement area and grade band.

Topic: Teaching Strategies for Diverse Learners

Paper details:

If you are pursuing the MAT in secondary education, you may select a standard from your endorsement area in grades 9-12.

For example, a student in the MAT Elementary Education program might select Virginia Math Standard 3.7b – The student will estimate and use U.S customary and metric units to measure liquid volume in cups, pints, quarts, gallons, and liters.

After selecting the standard, the student will then choose an integration area (view, interpret, analyze, or represent) that can be used to teach the standard.

For example, if a student chose to represent as the integration area that could be used to teach Virginia Math Standard 3.7b , then the student would explain how representation could be used to help students understand the relationship between each unit of measurement.

The standard and integration area should be addressed in each section of the paper. When you identify strategies for each diverse group of students, you must apply the strategy to the standard and the integration area.

For example, if you identify the strategy of independent projects for working with gifted students, you must explain how you would use this strategy in the context of teaching Virginia Math Standard 3.7b through representation.

You must select a standard from the Virginia Standards of Learning for this assignment.

You may not use standards from any other state. Use the provided link to access the Virginia Standards of Learning.
