Classroom Needs Analysis

In every classroom there will be a variety of capabilities, needs and factors that must be addressed when teaching a classroom full of students. As educators is important for us to take time to properly prepare an effective lesson for the class. When dealing with multiple levels of needs this may be difficult because there will be numerous moving factors but the preparation and accommodations must be set. It is my personal philosophy that all children can learn and have the capability of grasping a level of knowledge whether it be a verbal or nonverbal display. The Class Profile depicts different levels of medical needs and language abilities that effect the way a student would receive knowledge being taught. With accommodations, students will

She may just have or need glasses and should be accommodated by sitting as close to the book as possible to be able to see the pictures. If it is a more severe impediment, an audio version of the book or its main topics can be shown. For the student with hearing aid who is De’Janae, it may be best to have that student closer to the book so read the lips of the teacher and focus on hearing with less distraction from student’s voices.
