Teachers use sensory inputs and physical outputs to define learning channels that students use during specific instruction. For instructional purposes, teachers arrange the sensory inputs and physical outputs on a grid to form a learning channel matrix. We present three examples of learning channel matrices in this article. Teachers may facilitate planning, enhance communication with students and parents, and encourage diversifying instructional activities when they use a learning channel matrix to actively guide their instruction.
