Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

An inclusive classroom accommodates students with diverse learning needs, including those with disabilities and different learning abilities. Effective teaching strategies in such classrooms focus on:
- Customizing teaching according to the learning needs of students (Option B): Teachers should adapt their teaching methods, pace, and materials to meet individual student needs to ensure meaningful learning for all.
- Using different assessment methods to motivate students (Option D): Diverse assessment strategies help to fairly evaluate students’ understanding and encourage participation, catering to varied abilities and learning styles.
On the other hand: - Using the same curriculum material for all students (Option A) is not effective in an inclusive classroom because it does not address individual differences.
- Teaching specific students by seating them separately (Option C) contradicts the principle of inclusion and can lead to segregation and stigmatization.
Hence, the correct strategies to adopt are B and D only.
