The way we teach individual students can vary greatly based on many factors. How does the student learn best?
Access - auditory, visually, kinesthetic, etcetera
Expression - speaking, writing, art, movement
Engagement - connection to the content, relationship with the teacher, social-emotional needs
Addressing individual needs can be daunting when there are 25 or more individual minds in the room and then some of those students have Individualized Education Plans and others are English Learners, and some have social-emotional needs, and others are gifted and talented. . . .
If we keep our head ‘in the game’ and consider the possibilities, what can we accomplish? Consider your mindset and how that can affect your own engagement in the work.
Across the district, several school SAIL plans include components of inclusive practice. The mission is to foster collaboration to narrow the achievement gap. Consider how the Growth Mindset can impact the mission of every teacher in the school . . .
