Teaching Your Mainstream Class to Respect Learning Differences: Dr. Rivka Kramer '08

One of the greatest drawbacks to our wonderful special education services is the attitude that many of our children have about coming out of class. While many children are making wonderful progress, some children refuse to come, and others remain very uncomfortable about being sincled out. Sometimes it is the child himself who is embarrassed. Sometimes it is other children in the class that makes comments that aren't encouraging. This presentation will help you illustrate to the children in your class what it feels like to find learning difficult and how wonderful it is that there are different ways to learn.
