Case Study of Lori – the student needs assessment.

An Overview of Lori

For this assignment, you will be exploring students’ needs. Explore the needs of a student from one of the case studies in your course text. Assessing a student’s needs from a textual context will obviously not provide you with the same quality needs assessment you would have as a teacher in the classroom. A
teacher in the classroom can assess a student’s needs from the OSR and first­hand observations of the student ­ providing a more comprehensive assessment. This task attempts to familiarize you with the many layers that a teacher builds on to help a student learn ­ beginning with assessing a student’s needs. Knowing the needs of students directs a teacher in the strategies that he or she can employ to help a student achieve success.

1. Choose a case study from your course text.: Case Study of Lori

2. Consider the information you know about the student in your case study, which supports
your needs assessment (there may be some criteria you need to make inferences about).

3. What are his or her needs based on what you know or can infer
about your student (there may be multiple needs ­ for example, if a need is hearing, listening, and attention skills may also be a need for consideration)?

4. Based on the needs assessment, what are the teaching strategies that you would use to meet the student’s needs (if they have more than one): â ¢
instructional â ¢ environmental, and assessment accommodations. Consider assistive technologies if applicable.
