What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students consider individual differences when communicating. They adjust pace, wording, turn-taking, or supports so others can participate and understand.
What Mastery Looks Like
- The student notices a communication need and responds respectfully. The adjustment helps without speaking for or excluding the other person.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may assume what someone needs without asking. They may think fairness always means identical communication.
How to Assess It
- Give a partner scenario involving different communication needs. Ask students to demonstrate two respectful adjustments and explain them.
