Strategies for Multiple Means of Action and Expression

Multiple Means of Action and Expression involves offering students varied ways to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding, and supporting the executive functioning skills needed to plan and execute complex tasks. Key strategies include: flexible assessment — offering options such as written essays, oral presentations, visual projects, digital portfolios, or practical demonstrations; scaffolding executive function — breaking complex tasks into manageable steps, providing planning templates and checklists, and offering models and exemplars; and supporting communication — providing a range of tools and technologies including word processors, speech-to-text software, drawing tools, and collaborative digital platforms.
