I realize that there is a lot of support that can easily be provided to students with learning disabilities through investigation and proper planning.

I learned ways to provide key words and repeat them so the big picture of the course is always visible.

Hello, As an instructor one of the communications skills I would like to improve is talking a little slower when I am nerveous. And to be honest expand my vocabulary. My solution is to go to barns and noble and look for a nice book that will cover these topics. Prepare a little better for certain classes so I wouldn't feel nerveous at times. And mingle around with the students to get to know them more on a one to one bases. If you have any other suggestion please let me know? thank you.

I try to have the students follow an outline throughout the project, so that they complete certain steps. It is challenging for the students to not get distracted with socializing instead of learning, but if they continue to follow the outline, they can complete the project without going too astray.

THE STUDENTS CAN SHARE DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW AND SOMETIMES THEY CAN UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT BETTER FROM ANOTHER STUDENT

One strategy that worked for me in addressing students with special needs was to observe and listen to the student. The student was having behavior problems due to inadequate medication. I referred the student to medical for treatment. The end result was improvement in class participation.

Giving more time has worked in several cases. I have had the benefit of getting a learning plan from the office of ability services.

I let students know that they cannot always 'pare' with their buddy...unevent pairing prepares for the work place

Practice your voice be strong and not loud do not yell/keep it conversational

When you notice a participant continuously asking longwinded questions, vaguely touching on the current topic, how do you address this in alternative ways when you've addressed it appropriately but the message isn't getting across.

In what ways can group interaction compensate for a teacher's teaching style

Most of the classes I teach are self paced and computer based. I would be interested in how you have used groups in a self-paced environment.

As a librarian, I am always asking questions of my patrons to help them to develop an inquiring mind. The students must learn how to logically think about their research projects and what type of resources will best fit their end goal in writing a research paper. This means I need to help them by asking questions of them about the resources that they are using. Is Wikipedia, the best resource to use for a college research paper? How, do they know that the website that they found is accurate? How, do would you find a resource in the library, or on its website? I am always asking these questions and I feel they really help students to understand where the best information can be found. It also helps them become lifelong learners.

Each student who comes into our library has their own way of learning information. It's important that librarians determine what method will help him/her find the information needed to complete the assignment. Will, a student need a couple one on one sessions, or a quick tour or how to get around the library. I have found that the best way to assist is to listen and ask questions - it's the best way of finding out what your students need.

As, a librarian, it is my goal to assist students with their research and citation of their research. I design, hands on "tests" that help students understand how to use the library. I don't often have to use a test, but I do quiz them while they are using the library's resources.

Scavenger hunts: I use them to help students learn how to use the resources of the library. Since, they have to search the library and the library’s website for the correct answer, they are learning about the library. They are filling out short answers to questions that are designed to move their learning levels in research in order to do an excellent job in their classes and in their future careers.

The one main point that I got out of this topic was makings sure lecture notes are efficient. Being prepared in your lecture by having notes will allow you to be prepared and make sure you cover each topic for that specific day. Make sure you practice your lecture and review the notes before class.
