Abstract

The present diverse educational system faces the fundamental challenge of providing effective inclusive instruction to every student. The following research examines teaching methods which help educators address specific educational requirements of students who have diverse learning abilities and preferences and backgrounds. Differentiated instruction serves as the first focus while the second point centers on incorporating technology in personalized learning and the third approach involves UDL principles. Active engagement methods and formative assessments along with culturally responsive teaching create an inclusive learning environment according to the paper. Educational strategies combined by teachers help build student-driven lessons which simultaneously drive academic achievements and complete educational growth. The paper proposes policy alterations alongside specific training programs which will help educators successfully engage every student in their classes.
