Get Your Students Hired
Ask a question from your peers to help you in your professional work. Seek different points of view on a topic that interests you. Start a thought-provoking conversation about a hot, current topic. Encourage your peers to join you in the discussion, and feel free to facilitate the discussion. As a community of educators, all members of the Career Ed Lounge are empowered to act as a discussion facilitator to help us all learn from each other.
I as a new teacher did not realize this problem was so large. I have read and reread this course more than once and I have a lot to learn about all of these issues/problems kids face to learn. I will dig deeper into learning more about it so that I can become a better teacher, I feel that if I don't then why am I even doing this?
I found the statement about post-secondary educators focusing on the course material and not diagnosing learning issues very interesting. I tried to copy and paste here but that does not work!
Language and literacy are interdependent, and each student deserves opportunities to increase their competency in all aspects of both.
This course really helped me to identify ways of reaching all cultures, ethnicities, ages, and classes of learners. Realizing that every person and individual has different learning styles, taking a holistic approach to teaching them really identified key areas of opportunity for improvement.
If I have a student that has either PTSD or TBI or both, how can I help them and what's the best approach?
Should faculty / instructor help to a student who feels left out and isolated from the class, open up opportunity to connect and support team based environment?
Instructors should create lessons that include as many student differences as possible. Everyone has a preferred learning style.
We must welcome children of all cultures and races, and understand that some students are multilingual. This makes our classrooms more interesting and diverse.
We, as instructors must realize that we will be teaching students that are of various races and cultures. We must embrace multiculturalism by getting to know the students and not generalizing students.
We must treat each student as an individual, not stereotyping students, but accepting their individualities.
I now have a better understanding of the different steps one must take when dealing with students with learning disabilities. Have any of you had to do this? What did you do?
Many veterans with PTSD and/or TBI do not want to have to repeat their stories and requests for accommodations. Having a working group through which their requests and needed supports can be shared among departments and faculty helps them to feel more comfortable and accepted in their different classes.
