Students have got to see the value, in their career paths and in their lives, in order to truly open up to let the learning take place.

When that happens the students do not mind making mistakes and errors. The joy of learning becomes the focus.

It is so valuable to be open to taking personal and professional inventory. I have found that If I am open to actually hearing myself and watching my student's responses to me- I can fin the "sweet spot" where I have them totally engaged. 

Knowing your subject matter AND being able to "read" your students is imperative. So many times , I have found myself modifying the lesson to accomodate where the students heads are and to pull them into participating in their own learning.

I think that sometimes , especially when a teacher has taught a course for a long time, they glide through it. It no longer feels fresh to them and they translate that to their students. This class offered great strategies to help to avoid this problem.

I find rubrics very useful in maintaining grading equality.

I agree there were some great ideas.

Great to hear.

Can anyone suggest a good learning site for students with NVLD?

I enjoyed it as well. It clarified a few things that I have seen in my classes.

I too, found this section very interesting. Too many times I have heard students complaining about instructors who they find very uninteresting. This was great
