A Facilitator's Mindset

This resource explores the facilitator mindset—how educators design and activate learning beyond direct instruction by connecting students to flexible pathways and opportunities to build skills, even when barriers exist.

Job Aids 

Job Aid #1: Barrier-Moving Mindset Competencies

Core practices that guide effective, inclusive instruction

Barrier-Moving Mindset Competencies

Job Aid #3: Seek to Understand the Learner’s Perspective

Building trust to uncover real barriers

Seek to Understand the Learner’s Perspective

Explore how curiosity, empathy, and intentional listening help educators move from reacting to behavior to responding to student needs—building trust, clarifying barriers, and creating solutions students are more likely to own and use.

Job Aid #4: Engage Stakeholders as Partners

Creating shared ownership around student growth

Engage Stakeholders as Partners

This job aid shows how engaging learners, caregivers, and other stakeholders builds consistent support across settings—turning individual effort into collaborative action that reinforces skills, removes barriers, and supports lasting change.

Job Aid #5: The Power of Perspective

One situation, many interpretations

The Power of Perspective

This job aid illustrates how the same student behavior can be interpreted differently depending on perspective—and why seeking multiple viewpoints leads to better understanding, stronger decisions, and support that responds to real needs rather than surface behaviors.

Job Aid #6: Recognize the Student’s Barrier

Naming what’s in the way so learning can happen

Recognize the Student’s Barrier

This job aid helps educators identify skill-based barriers that interfere with learning and shift from blaming behavior to asking, “What’s getting in the way?” By clearly naming the barrier, teachers can design targeted instruction and supports that move learning forward.

Job Aid #7: Working Through and Around a Barrier

A simple two-tier approach for meaningful progress

Working Through and Around a Barrier

This job aid explains how to support students by building barrier-related skills over time (“through”) while using just-right accommodations for immediate access and inclusion (“around”). Together, these tiers keep students engaged in grade-level learning as lasting skills develop.

Job Aid #8: Function of Accommodations

The function and power of accommodations

Function of Accommodations

This job aid explains how effective accommodations remove the impact of barriers so students can access instruction, assessments, and learning opportunities. By supporting learners around their needs, accommodations make classrooms more accessible, inclusive, and engaging for all students.

Job Aid #9: Accommodations vs. Modifications

Understanding adaptations that support access and rigor

Accommodations vs. Modifications

This job aid clarifies the difference between accommodations (how students learn or show learning) and modifications (what students are expected to learn), and how both work together as adaptations to create accessible, inclusive, and rigorous learning environments.

Action Driven Education knows that IEP teams work to address the challenges a student faces across all aspects of learning. To support and encourage this practice we’ve organized our Accomods into four categories.
