Tips for Teachers
On this page you will find links to information for teachers who teach students with learning disabilities.
Often, the "communicators of knowledge" are not appreciated, but the teacher makes a learning difference in the eyes of a student -- especially one who learns differently from his or her peers. Teachers who are aware of learning differences in their students can help these students utilize their hidden talents in the following area:
- by understanding that learning styles differ for every student
- to create a learning environment that supports and emphasizes different learning styles
- by employing teaching methods that support varying learning styles
- knowing the correct time to intervene when learning becomes difficult
