I have learned that my habit of moving about the classroom is not a bad one, and that if I am consistent in my delivery of content, students will know that they can count on me. I have also learned that learning disabled students are likely to be above average in intelligence, and they should not be cast as incapable or unmotivated.
As far as applying this knowledge, I will make sure to take the time to get to know my students and understand their individual motivations. I want them to feel like I have considered their needs and that I'm doing my best to meet them and to match their motivation.
I believe the best support I can have is managers and academic deans who can offer some advanced notice and supplementary aid with learning disabled students. In addition to addressing the learning disabled students' needs, it show other students that they are valued.
