Session 4 Program Outcome Objectives
Session 4: Enact Instruction to Meet Student Needs
The focus of session 4 is M-ARC program Outcome 5: Enact Instruction to Meet Student Needs
Outcome 4 Description: Teachers who achieve Program Outcome 5 enable all students to participate in the educational process and accomplish the learning objectives at high rates of success by recognizing and addressing student learning needs as they arise. These teachers regularly implement instructional strategies or interventions in response to common patterns of student thinking, and use professional judgment to adjust course for the purpose of accommodating student understanding, engagement, interests, and questions, and to better support student learning. These teachers draw from a range of strategies and resources in seeking effective approaches for students who have difficulty learning.
Outcome 5 includes 2 competencies, which are:
5A. Modified Instruction
5B. Scaffolded Instruction
For complete descriptions of each competency view M-ARC's program rubric (Links to an external site.).
