During my observations visits I have learned a lot about the students struggles and difficulties they may have in their core subjects. For example, some students may appear to be very good readers but, they have poor comprehension skills. Some students are English Second Language (ESL) students while other may have learning disabilities. Another observation that I have noticed is their writing skills go hand in hand with their poor comprehension skills. In order to read and understand what is read, a student may a difficulty writing their thoughts down on paper.
Some learning strategies for students with various learning levels are as follows:
∙ Visual – a learner who benefits from observing a teacher, video, chart, graphs, etc.
∙ Kinesthetic – a learner who likes to move around while learning, for my gym classes this applies. They usual like hands on activities. ∙ Auditory – are learners who use their sense of hearing to process information
A lot of these students have pull out programs to meet their educational needs. Some have in-class support while other attend smaller classes in the resource room. In-class support provides these students with extra help and modifications while being main streamed into a regular classroom setting. Resource room is is a smaller group were students learn at a slower pase.
The public education system protects and provides for every student. The No Child Left Behindd outlines all goals for teachers to meet and rights for students and parents. No child is neglected from receiving a good education.
