Three new things I have learned...
1. There are a few issues in education; which include legal and policy directives; implications of the NCLB Act for special education; need for trained personnel and a universal design for learning.
2. Teachers can use web accessibility checkers like Wave, to ensure that all pages are accessible to students with sensory and physical disabilities.
3. Teachers have to constantly be on guard for new solutions for academic performance problems. Teachers can use resources such as Closing the Gap's Solutions database, which provides an excellent means of locating new tools for students with disabilities.
Two connections to my teaching...
1. Electronic communities are available for students to communicate with different cultures and languages, which can encourage and provide new avenues of expression for talented and gifted students.
2. Students can develop presentations based on their research, which allows students to display their discoveries in ways that make them more independent learners.
One questions I have...
1. Why are talented and gifted students lumped into the same category as students with learning disabilities? It seems that these are two very different problems.
