Reinforce student responses even when it's not the answer you're looking for.  

It's important to tailor our teaching to meet various learning styles.

It's better call on students to respond instead of allowing students to raise their hand to respond.  This leads to only a few students doing all the responding.  There are a variety of options for students with learning disabilities.

People are afraid to talk about their learning disabilities.  Accommodations are meant to help make the students successful without altering the integrity of the assignment.

This module was very clear on all of the different types of learning disabilities.  60% of adults have learning disabilities that went undiagnosed.  Too much screen time does not cause learning disabilities.

The average reading level is an 8th grade level.  10% of the population have a learning disability that will likely stay with them forever.

The only way to do something right and do it well is to first do it poorly.  Learning from mistakes and failures will only make us better.  

Listening is key to understanding challenging students.  

It's important to not allow one or a few students to dominate class discussion.  I also learned strategies for reducing student behaviors such as late work, disengaged, etc.

It's important that your course is outlined and structured via your syllabus so that students know the expectations up front.  Students are more engaged when you can connect what they're learning to real-world practices.  Ice-breakers are good for getting students engaged with an assignment, especially group work.
