I learned that accommodations should be reasonable and the curriculum should not be watered down. I learned that UDL is divided into 3 parts, the what, the how, the why of learning. 

I learned that bipolar disorder causes unusual shifts in a person’s mood, energy and ability to function. I learned that a person who has OCD experiences recurrent thoughts, impulses, or images that are not simply excessive worries about real life problems.

I learned that all students do not learn alike. I learned that special accommodations should be granted to students with learning disabilities. 

I learned that people tend to see the disability of the student and not the student. I learned the term hard of hearing means someone who has some type of hearing issue. 

I learned that student should not be excluded for having a disability. Also students must self identify with having a disability. They must provide documentation. The student should request specific accommodations. If I had a Student as such I would make sure that I followed all rules concerning the matter at hand.

I learned that it is very difficult to classify Attention Deficit Disorders. And that some people classify it as a physical disability. 

New teachers should always ask for help and they should be prepared. New teachers should make a note of what worked and what did not work so well.

I learned that monitoring your students a great thing to do. It helps you to give insight about how the teach and how they learn.

It is important to meet with a struggling student. It is important to handle not so focused students with tender loving care. 

I learned that a student will be motivated when they have the responsibility of personalizing the content of the course. I will start to implement this activity. It is smart.
