In the first step of this assignment, I observed NWEA MAP test scores from one of my classes. Through this data, I was able to group a number of students who struggled with mathematical procedural fluency. In addition to this data, I also looked at student watching data to group students who struggled with making sense of problems, and with word problems in particular. My goal was to create a lesson that would begin to implement various UDL techniques that would improve my level of Tier 1 instruction. Additionally, I implemented small group accommodations that addressed the specific struggles of my selected students. Through this planning and implementation, I have increased my understanding of Tier 1 instruction, gained necessary practice on common differentiation strategies, and outlined steps moving forward to build off of what I learned. The goal of Tier 1 instruction, or “Core Instructional Interventions”, is to “differentiate instruction, providing instruction designed to meet the specific needs of students in the class” (). A prime example of this is Universal Design for Learning (UDL) which sets up structures that benefit all learners and give multiple opportunities for engagement, …show more content…

I also outlined a group of 5 students with the lowest procedural fluency from the NWEA score, a group of 6 students who are slow to get started on problems based on student watching data, and a group of 4 students who struggle with word problems and vocabulary based on details from their IEPs. For these groups of students, I was focusing on what sort of Tier 2 strategies I can use with them, but also which implementing whole class Tier 1 strategies work for them and their
