The important classroom factors include the demographics of the students, such as their cultural backgrounds and language proficiency, as well as the classroom environment, such as the availability of resources and the physical layout. Student factors, such as IEPs, 504s, ELLs, students with behavior concerns, and gifted learners, can impact planning, teaching, and assessing by requiring differentiated instruction and accommodations to meet the diverse needs of all students. This may involve providing additional support for ELLs and students with IEPs, challenging gifted learners with extension activities, and addressing behavior concerns through behavior management strategies.
