Educators of students with learning disabilities, require the right approach with knowing, and understanding the type of disability and challenges to learning. 

Instructional support is key. Being creative in how to help students succeed especially in a diverse group.

A good point of interacting with every student even for a few seconds allow you as an instructor to recognize any concerns. I can also help the student to stay on task by showing them you notice them

Developing good communication skills through proper and appropriate information related to the course content, pacing, active listening are very effective tools.

I agree that being prepared is always the best to start the day as an instructor. In preparing and delivering the lesson planned, consider that it is used more as a guide than a blueprint. The delivery method should be based on the type of students and the desired outcomes for the course.

Getting started with setting the tone, proper introduction, expectations and motivation, and ending the class with having the students feel a sense of comfort in going through the program, succeed and progress toward their career goals.  

One way to be efficient is to set the tone with proper planning and preparation to include the teaching environment, setting and writing goals and objectives and making a checklist.

Understanding the competencies in the instructional process, the technical, professional and personal, with identifying and developing an instructional style that is comfortable and compatible with the instructional setting.
