I like groups becasue they afford the students the ability to learn from each other. Often this is a better interaction than with an instructor.

I feel that giving extra attentionis not the proper way to go about this. It will often alienate other students and make then foee as if favoritism is abound. What I wouuld normally do is ask the student to meet with me on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to complete an overview of the mateial presented thus far.

IT is amazing to me the breadth of learingin disabilities that are known. It is improtant as educators to facilitate any assistance to the student as we can in order to meet their success.

In one of my classes for my masters we talked about using open ended questions or lead in questions to ensure that the students are engaged.
