I actively embrace diversity everyday.

Language and literacy are interdependent, and each student deserves opportunities to increase their competency in all aspects of both. 

I learned some history behind certain learning disabilities.

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.

They benefit from mentors.

Understanding the effects on learning.

Vicarious trauma what it entails.

May have difficulty processing information.

Do not silence the mother tongue.

Race is a social construct and, therefore, not a real or fair descriptor of anyone; cultures refers to how we all behave, what we do, what we like and where we spend our time. Both are important
