Steam: s sensory, t tangible. Tangible object: e escape, a attention seeking, m multiple. Differentiated instruction is a teacher"s response to learner"s needs. Students differ in their interests, strengths, learning styles, and readiness to learn. Thus, it is important for educators to adapt their instructions to suit the learner"s characteristics. The educator increases the likelihood that the lesson or project is engaging and meaningful for the student. Accommodation (the way you are teaching or instructional strategy gives more breadth) vs modification (modifying the curriculum) Breaking down a complex task into smaller units to support learning: observe and assess the child"s abilities, set a task and a goal. Set a goal and identify a task that need to be performed: determine the steps needed to perform the task, make a plan, implement the plan. Forward chaining - the teacher helps the child to learn the first step, and then the second, and so on.
