I attempt to reach all my
students in the classroom
through a variety of
planning. I meet with the
Spectrum Team, Gifted
Program Coordinator, and
ELL Coordinator to ensure
that I have adequate
support on how to reach
my students. I then plan
instruction accordingly. I
am very fond of using the

I am meeting students’
needs by adding a playlist
