speaking, listening, writing, memorizing and reading
reading, writing, speaking and listening, foundational skills and language
phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension
Universal Design Principles were developed primarily as a way to ensure
inclusive teaching for students with special needs
inclusive teaching for students who are language learners
inclusive teaching for students from diverse sociocultural backgrounds
Why did Howard Garner develop his theory of Multiple Intelligences?
To provide teachers with actionable strategies to use in the classroom

According to Brain-Based Learning theorists, which is true?
Neurological connections are created when effective learning takes place.
The classroom environment (lighting, smells, etc.) has little impact on learning.
Attention spans are consistent across age groups, so all students need brain breaks and movement incorporated in learning.
