Problem Based Learning
Walden University 7106-1 Project Diversity Page
This project is perfect for addressing individual student strengths and areas of concern. The caution is in making sure that students are working to their potential within their groups. Due to the nature of cooperative learning, students that exhibit difficulty in one or more areas of learning may rely too heavily on their peers. This is the duty of the instructor to work as the facilitator to make sure that everybody is working to their potential.
While conducting this lesson, I would present the lesson to 5 class sections of high school sophomores totaling one hundred students. While we are a school of choice, being a charter school, our students are selected by lottery only. So the range of prerequisite knowledge and ability ranges greatly.

Students with Disabilities
There are six students with diagnosed and identified disabilities outlined in their Individual Education Plans (IEP's). Two students do not have modifications for learning, but have goals in behavior. One other student is diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and the other three have ranging learning difficulties. The project outlined in this plan addresses each of their needs. There is a variety of activities that can influence success and challenge the difficulties.
Second-language Learners
Currently, in our student population, we do not have any students identified as second-language learners. However, the nature of this project is highly visual and kinesthetic and would address the needs if any were to be added.
Different Learning Styles/Gardner's Multiple Intelligences
This project will require students to work in a multitude of learning styles and use almost all of their multiple intelligences. In addition, the cooperative nature of the project requires students to work with others that may have different styles of learning. In working with them, students will naturally pickup new strategies that could make them successful working outside their comfort zones.
Gifted Students
About 28 of our students are working in the Advanced Placement (AP) track as high school sophomores. With this project, these students have the right to stretch their potential and work creatively towards the end product. In addition, those not identified also have this same ability.
