Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Project-Based, Research-Based Learning, Question-Answer Relationship Strategy, Think-Pair Share Activities: Learners are put in groups and each group is encouraged to give an account of a real event in their own words in class, using simple literary devices, like Simile, metaphor, and imagery.
Flexible-pace learning: Faster listening students will enjoy the facility to complete extension tasks, while slow listening learners have an opportunity to complete their exercise at a more comfortable speed.
Collaborative learning: Forming mixed-ability groups of learners gives high cognitive abilities a platform to tell their observations, while it gives low cognitive abilities a way of collaborating with and learning from their peers.
Learning Stations: Individual learning stations/groupings which are based on visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning, are supported with their different learning styles. Learners understand individual learning challenges and deficiencies.
