Now that we are moving into the topic of Diverse Learners, I am starting to see how CGI is a tool for reaching all learners. Similar to the fact that some students do not benefit to an inclusive environment, some students will still not benefit from the CGI method. However, it is a great way to provide students with access to multiple ways of approaching a problem and the opportunity to get insight into the student's thinking process for solving the problem. When working with Diverse Learners it is important to remember that they shouldn't be regarded in any different way than other students in your classroom. All students deserve your respect and 100% of your effort towards helping them achieve academic goals. It is also important to note that you should be working towards helping students achieve the same goals as other students with accommodations, rather than giving them simplified goals or modifications.
