I found this chapter to be very useful. As a future teacher it is a bit difficult to hear that I will be working with students with learning disabilities. It is not easy to realize that I will have to accommodate so many needs within my classroom. It will be a challenge to work with students with learning disabilities.
It is necessary to realize that each student learns in a different way. I really like how the chapter emphasizes on different teaching approaches. Although the chapter emphasizes on teaching science to students with learning disabilities, they may also be used to teach other subjects and concepts. The chapter offers scaffolding, activity-based science, learning strategies, visual presentations, multimedia, mnemonics, and graphic organizers. As I stated all of the approaches may be used to teach any concept.
I am majoring in Bilingual Bicultural education, and one thing I really liked about this chapter, was the focus on sheltered instruction and the 5-E model. I have taken many classes in BLBC, and I believe that the 5-E model may be an effective tool to teach linguistically and culturally diverse students.
