Universal Accommodations Through a Multimodal Lens (Module 9)

Module 9 helped me synthesize all prior learning into a cohesive instructional framework. I came to understand that whole-group routines can function as differentiation when they are predictable, culturally responsive, literacy-rich, cognitively intentional, and supported by purposeful technology. Peer feedback strengthened the presentation considerably. I clarified how flexible grouping complements whole-group routines for multilingual learners, added distinctions between productive and counterproductive technology use using cognitive load theory, and tightened alignment between my research questions, qualitative themes, and instructional implications.
