Differentiated Instruction
Multiple Access Strategies
This section contains a variety of teaching strategies and stimuli
designed for students to access basic communication
concepts
,
cultural content
,
and
critical thinking skills
.
The last set
of strategies is appropriate for advanced students or heritage
speakers.
Meeting Individual Needs
This section addresses the needs of students with different
modalities of learning. The
Benchmark
group includes
students who are making good progress but are experiencing
temporary or minor difficulties. The
Strategic
group includes
students who are slightly behind or may need to have a concept
re-taught to them or periodically reviewed. The
Intensive
group includes students who are behind and are considered
at risk. The
Challenge
group includes advanced students or
heritage speakers who may benefit from more demanding or
effortful activities.
Multiple Intelligences
This section provides extension activities for those teachers who
might feel their students will benefit from them. These activities
encourage students to learn in eight different ways: linguistically,
logically-mathematically, spatially, bodily-kinesthetically,
musically, interpersonally, intrapersonally, and naturalistically.
Heritage Speakers
The term “heritage speakers” is usually applied to students who
speak a language other than English in their homes even though
English has already become their dominant language. Heritage
speakers of the Spanish language may be able to communicate
better orally than their classmates who are learning Spanish but
may not be able to communicate as well in writing or use more
complex language. In order to address the needs of heritage
speakers who are placed in Spanish classes,
Descubre el español

includes activities in its differentiated instruction
sections (Multiple Access Strategies and Meeting Individual
Needs) that provide growth opportunities for these students.
In addition, the
Antología
,
as well as the
Biblioteca temática
,
include suitable activities that accommodate the different needs
of heritage speakers.
