The main lesson learned this week is, knowing how to reach out to students with different needs in terms of education; using technology to reach out to students who has different ways of retaining information. This week also focused on being creative as a teacher and thinking of ways to reach out to your students.
“The challenge posed by greater diversity and greater accountability is to enable students with widely divergent needs, skills, and interests to attain the same high standards.”
The above quote is basically explaining that no child should be left behind or treated different due to their special needs, color, ethnic background, family background/upbringing, looks or whatever that makes the child unique/different from majority of the normal students. Every child deserves the same educational opportunity as others regardless of what school they are placed in. Educators are faced with challenges of caterings to people with different skills and different needs and at the end of the day the students are expected to educationally be at the same level.
