In this session, we will explore various dimensions of individual differences, encompassing cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic variations as well as varying learning needs and abilities. We will examine how these factors can influence academic and social-emotional outcomes and discuss how to tailor interventions to meet the unique requirements of students with distinct backgrounds. This session is aligned with the Disproportionality of Identification and Placement and Evaluation components of the TEA-required self-assessment.
