As an Instructor there is something that I struggle with whenever I have a student with an accommodation. Lets use private testing as an example. If I am administering a test and then send a student out of the room. Am I not pointing out that this student is in some way different to the rest of the class? This has yet to be an actual problem but it is something that makes me uncomfortable. I feel as though I am outing that student.

I am new to teaching so my experience using active learning is limited. As a student however I was always the type of person who learns better through involved methods as opposed to pure lecture. It’s been said many times throughout this forum of the need for a blend and again from a student’s perspective I believe this is spot on.
