I learned that there are many ways to encourage and motivate students with learning disabilities. We may need to make certain changes to our processes, but not because the students with disabilities are less capable, only that they may need some different tools or techniques to ensure their success.

Having lived in another country and learning a new language, I definitely understand the barriers that student may face. I really appreciate the techniques discussed here to help ensure student success.

I learned that keeping group sizes to 6-8 people is advisable. I am most interested in the self evaluation of group assignments since that would really empower the group to go for exactly the result they want.

There are many techniques to teach while being more than just a droning voice. I will be most effective by using real world examples to help illustrate a point combined with being lively while speaking.

I learned that one of the main purpose of giving a test to students is to measure what students do know or don't 

Breaking things down into smaller more efficient modules is what I have been doing for a few years to accommodate all types of learners and do things like color code calculations as a visual guide or clue. Creating interdisciplinary or more industry led projects could be beneficial for our program and the students. 

That module helped me feel like I am on track for the interactions I am experiencing in class. Probing, redirection, and praise are standard during my lectures. This module also reminded me that it's not always about getting the correct answer when questioning the students. It is about getting them engaged and working together. 

I learned that if I am prepared for class, and to get to know them then it helps to show the students that they are important to me. I learned that if I break the material into small sections at a time, it is more digestible. And to try to teach to different styles of learning to be sure all students can be given the opportunity to learn.And finally, offering varied modes of learning will keep the students engaged and excited. 

I learned that taking the time for introductions does so much more than just learn each others names. It can set the stage for the success of the class by being genuine with the students.

Proper planning will ensure both my success as well as the success of the students.
