About me

I have a passion for education and especially for ensuring that all of us continue to apply what we have learned. I am excited about the opportunity that the Lounge provides for all of us to discuss how we are applying what we have learned & to share those great ideas.

I have had a varied background from secondary education to corporate training & now working in the career college sector. But while I have moved in different circles it has always been surrounding my passion of education. I look forward to our conversations.

Most Common Form of Learning Disability

james, I think this demonstrates a great way to work with these learners: asking them what has worked in the past. If they are willing to share it generally is a win-win. Ryan Meers, Ph.D.

Strategies for teaching Gen Yers.

Paula , keep at it & keep pushing them. The crazy thing is there are so many classic books now available to download even to smartphones, even audio books, if we can just get them to use them! Ryan Meers, Ph.D.

Understanding Diverse Learners

Mark, thanks for sharing these ideas. I teach an intercultural communication class & I (jokingly!) tell my students that we all know the way to cross cultural barriers is to talk loudly, slowly & with lots of gestures. They laugh, but sadly many still try to use this method to communicate... Ryan Meers, Ph.D.
