UnderstAnding a student's learning preference can help with their learning challenges.

Language is a part of a persons culture and it is important to know what is their first language and what other languages they arw learning.

It is important to acknowledge the differences in students rather than being blind to them. Recognizing everyone's differences will help instructors better learn how to be inclusive when teaching. 

Students learn best in the language they understand. Language is a reflection of one's culture, not literacy. 

Use language that is inclusive to everyone. Don't make assumptions about what people should know. Be mindful of cultural backgrounds (i.e., language, food, place of origin, religion, etc.) when teaching students to create an inclusive environment in which everyone can learn comfortably. 

Never make assumptions about a student based on their gender. And students have different learning methods.

Respect each student's differences and don't make assumptions. Learning styles are different for each person 

I learned new techniques for working with students with psychiatric disorders. A learning environment that has a lot of order and consistency is beneficial for these students. It is also helpful to remain calm and when addressing a student having an episode. To mitigate episodes student can work on ways to check in with themselves to see if their behavior is changing. 

I learned about Dyscalculia for the first time. The video said an accommodation could be allowing a calculator. I wonder how much that actually helps for a student that mixes up numbers? I know certain online platforms for exams have filters for disabilities that are supposed to make taking a test more equitable.
