Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)

Project-Based Learning, Think-Pair Share Activities:
- Teacher creates learning stations/groupings based on visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning. This requires that individual learners are supported with their different learning styles, where audio-visual, subtitles are incorporated in listening exercises to cater for the various learning styles.
- Learners are guided to use clues from interactions to make a guess of words or ideas they do not understand. Learners respond individually or group questions on what they understood which they share either orally or written.
GESI-Conscious Classroom: While learners with visual, auditory, and kinaesthetic learning challenges are catered for in the classroom activities, all learners are made to understand that the audio-visual materials are free from individual or group stereotyping.
