  Case: Special Case
Ms. Walker has recently had a lower level student moved into her advanced class in an effort to eliminate behavior issues with the student. However, because this is a lower level student he has difficulty keeping up with the pace of the class. He is not considered a special education student; therefore, he does not technically require any modifications. What should Ms. Walker do to ensure this student's success?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While differentiation is important in the classroom, it is important that this is done with instruction as well as product. Sometimes a child maybe low in a given area but if it is presented to them in a way that is interesting to them, they will do well. Present the information on a level that interests them. There will be other students in the classroom that needs to have the information presented in the same manner to understand as well so Ms. Walker will benefit the lower level student as well as the advanced students.
