CAST: Teaching Every Student Continued

I've been doing more exploring on the CAST website and spent a lot of time using the tools on the Teaching Every Student page. There is an excellent tutorial that focuses on strengthening skills for analyzing curriculum barriers. The tutorial builds on the skills that I learned yesterday while exploring the tools and activities page of CAST's website. It includes choices of various students with unique skills and sample curriculums in different subject areas. Your job is to analyze the skills of the student and examine the requirements of the curriculum to uncover the barriers each student might encounter. This process helps instructors identify areas of weakness in their teaching practices.

The spreadsheet I posted below is a clip of my analysis of a student named Paula who has difficulty reading and writing full sentences but is able to read and write individual words well. Her fifth grade US History curriculum requires her to read textbooks and write out assignments with rare help from assistive technology.
