S.M.A.R.T- Goal: To build in notes skeletons (graphic organizers) to

lessons in order to facilitate the organization of ideas and the ease of
information retrieval. By implementing this instructional adaptation for
all the students I will be teaching them using a scaffolding method how
to take notes and organize important content.
Strategies:

Provide each student with a graphic organizer at the

beginning of class.
Post graphic organizer on my website along with the notes to
help students who were absent.

Use different formats for graphic organizers so that students

associate different types of content with the graphic organizer
that best suits it. (fishbone, timeline etc.)

Ensure that the content to be filled in is clearly displayed on

the board and that there is enough space for students with
fine motor difficulties.
