Student Difficulties

It is important for the student to let us know that they have a learning disability. This way we can provide them with the help that they need to be successful in the class.

Helping to reach all students

It is important as an instructor to have patience with students who have a learning disability. I know that sometimes I need to work one on one with that individual to help them to grasp the information that was covered in class. We need to go above and beyond are call of duty to help these students so that they do not give up on there goals and dreams.

Student Groups

I feel student groups allow all the students to get involved in whatever topic they are learning. Each student is then responsible for reporting back on the assignment that they were given in the group in regards to the subject matter. Again this gets all students involved in the assignment. All the students need to work together to complete the task at hand.

Floating around the classroom

Floating around the classroom makes the entire class feel like they are involved in the class discussion. It also allows the instructor to make sure that the students are paying attention to the lecture.

Quizzes and Examinations

My policy is that the lowest quiz score will be dropped and if you miss a quiz you can't make it up. Examinations can't be made up unless the student had some type of hardship. Then it will be a the instructor's discretion if the exam can be made up.

Pretests

I think pretests are an excellent idea because it lets you know if the student has any knowledge on the subject that you are going to be teaching.
