Differentiated Instruction
I have found an area where differentiated instruction strategies would benefits students if implemented into Accounting I. There are "gifted" students in this class who are bored to death with written problems that are in repetition. The teacher always assigns them every problem in the book to complete per chapter. However, she does not incorporate computerized accounting systems into Accounting I even though it is a CSO. She feels they need to master the basics first and may implement this if they take Accounting II. There seems to be a lack of interest for Accounting II as there are only two students taking this course this academic year. I feel some students should be given the opportunity to skip some of the basic problems and be given enrichment activities to complete which utilize the computerized accounting software. This may keep these students from getting bored and generate more interest in accounting as a career. These students do not have perfect grades because they dread the work and then rush to complete it on time. Therefore, I think they would be motivated to put a little more effort into the course as well.
