This instructional support plan outlines differentiation strategies for teaching and assessing a student including increasing the use of concrete examples, providing lecture notes and study guides, checking for understanding frequently, allowing the use of audiobooks and calculators, breaking down projects, and allowing typed responses on assessments. Testing accommodations include no scantron, increased time, and the option to retake tests once, while assessments must demonstrate mastery of standards in alternate ways without fundamental alterations.
