Episode Synopsis

How should we approach making adjustments in the classroom to ensure we meet the needs of every learner? Dr. Ling Zhang joins us to discuss how US law and policy frame individualization and other requirements for tailoring instruction to meet the needs of students with disabilities. Focus on pacing toward common goals shows the most promise for legal compliance and learning gains.

Later, we discuss an example course fully committed to student growth through interlocking systems of active, collaborative learning and minimizing grade-based motivation.
