ASCD Express 8.07 - Strength-Based Learning Strategies for Special Needs Students
As I read this summary of the article above, I am reminded of the best teaching practices I studied in my pre-service teaching as well as the professional development opportunities in my teaching career. After 9 years in the classroom I cannot stress enough how essential it is to reach these students in the ways that help them learn the most. It does take more time, effort, and planning on the side of the teacher, but aren't the rewards worth it? The methods described also help motivate other students who have not been identified for special needs services, so it is more of the issue of universal design that teachers should consider when using these strategies in their classrooms.
