10 Ways To Help Kids With Learning Differences That Could Benefit All Students

An omnipresent theme in education is "meeting the needs of our diverse learners". We find this embedded within PBIS, MTSS, UDL, Differentiated Instruction, Scaffolding, etc. Yesterday, Susan, Lisa, and I attended a leadership training about both sexual harassment and the co-teaching model. It was clear this theme of addressing learners' unique needs continued to be reinforced within these topics. We will share more at a later date, but this ARTICLE from Mindshift resonated with me and the trends and targets we continue to see within our own educational landscape. Of course, the article is worth a read...AND as a bonus this week, I've included a 5 question comprehension quiz via Google Forms new quiz feature. $20 restaurant gift card to the first teacher with a perfect score!
