Reminds me of what I thought and when I thought it when I first started teaching the trades. Confidence is very important. Being well prepared and knowledge based is critical. Students can feel the confidence, knowledge and authority their instructors have.

 

This is a well done segment and many of the attributes of students with learning disabilities are familiar to me in the classroom and shop. For many students in the gray area of diagnosis, we see people that state they are visual learners but have a great deal of difficulty visualizing what they have to do before they have to do it. These people also have trouble doing basic drawings or interpreting drawings. Teaching the trades which combines both academic work and hands on is a challenge because of this for some students.
