1. Contextual Framework
YOU must determine the student demographics, community background, district or work setting environment, student characteristics, for YOUR project.

The contextual framework will be predicated upon the universal design for learning (UDL) serving as the blueprint for curriculum design addressing the diverse needs of all teenage learners. This framework enables educators to create curricula that include instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that because of their flexibility can accommodate all teenage learners and leave no child behind. The framework acknowledges the differences in learning styles of teenage students and attempts to break the barriers to learning that occur in curriculum design that is not flexible.

The teacher must determine which way their students learn and develop curriculum that accentuates the student's learning style whether it be visual, auditory, or kinesthetic. Teachers must consider what will be included in their lesson plans and how to best relay this information to the students when creating their needs assessment.

Needs assessment is predicated upon how a student learns and focusing on their strengths and weaknesses. When a weakness is discovered through the assessment, teachers must attempt to develop lesson plans that accentuate the student's strengths by focusing on how they individually learn. Visual learners like to see what they are being taught while the teacher explains what they are seeing and doing while auditory learners prefer lectures that tell users in words what is being taught through lectures and discussion. Kinesthetic learners need to have a hands-on role in their learning that could combine both the visual ...
