The following research-based strategies have been chosen specifically to meet the needs of
students of each gender and race as well as those who are Special Needs or economically
challenged. Female students benefit from verbal interaction, descriptive narration, and
expressing emotional connections/experiences to the information. Male students benefit from
simple, analytic explanation, kinesthetic movement, and visual images to aid in retention of
information. According to Ruby Payne, economically challenged students, need to know the
“why” and “how” of a topic, before they can learn it. With those needs in mind, the following
interventions/strategies have been chosen:
1.1
The Pre-K teacher will use direct instruction to teach students to sort and classify objects by
color, size, and shape and create patterns using these attributes.
2.2
The Pre-K teacher will use logical/mathematical Intelligence to use one to one
correspondence in counting objects and matching groups. Students will count the number of
days they have attended school and examine the results from the class poll on a question
and /or graphing the answers with physical objects.
Instructional Technology Integrated Strategies
1.1 & 2.2
The Pre-K teacher will use the Promethean Interactive White Board to lead the students in
interactive lessons to reinforce skills in sorting, matching, and counting objects.

Procedural specificity will be detailed in individual teacher lesson plans.
