Week One

Wednesday - Lesson 01

One in seven Americans has a learning disability. That means that in your class of 28 students, four could have significant trouble keeping up with the basics. This first lesson will investigate what learning disabilities (LDs) are and define some common types of LDs that you'll see again and again in the classroom. After that, it will take a few minutes to switch roles with all learners and see what it's like to try to work past an LD.

Friday - Lesson 02

Is Tamara having trouble with reading because it's not her favorite subject, or is something else going on? The process of identifying LD students is a long and sometimes tedious one. But with the proper expectations and the right dose of compassion, teachers can have success in the investigatory prereferral process. It will be discussed in this lesson.

Week Two

Wednesday - Lesson 03

This lesson will discuss IEPs, which are road maps that guide the learning curve of every LD child. Written specifically to address individual needs, these legal documents are both confusing and complicated. But once you know how to decode the language and the sections, it's easy to start using IEPs as the helpful tools they're meant to be.

Friday - Lesson 04

LD students receive IEP-mandated services in a number of ways. Whether they mostly stay in their classroom or spend some time in the special education room, they're going to learn a bit differently than other students. This lesson will take a look at the common service locations that help LD students meet educational goals.

Week Three

Wednesday - Lesson 05-

You all remember that one teacher who really made a difference in your lives. The right teaching strategies spell out the difference between a creative, engaging classroom and one that stagnates without reaching most of its students. This lesson will talk about the teaching strategies that make learning memorable for LD students.

Friday - Lesson 06

Word identification problems can make "cat" look like "can" or "pan." Imagine how hard it would be to read all the wrong words in all the right places. In this lesson, you'll discover smart strategies to help student find their words.

Week Four

Wednesday - Lesson 07

For students who have trouble reading, it's hard enough to just get the words right. But to pair those words with their meaning is a seemingly insurmountable task. This lesson will go over how to chunk information so students can understand what they're reading and fall in love with texts.

Friday - Lesson 08

Writing poses quite a few challenges for LD students. Some of them have trouble holding their pencils, and others find it difficult to communicate what it is they're trying to say. This lesson will take a tour of strategies that bring writing to life for students who often don't even realize all the neat things they have to say.

Week Five

Wednesday - Lesson 09

A lot of LD students dread math because it requires a lot of skills to come together seamlessly and at the same time: Reasoning, logic, number sense, writing, and computation are all key. But math doesn't have to be so scary. This lesson will discuss how to make all those numbers a little easier for LD students to manipulate.

Friday - Lesson 10

Even though the IEP gives you a general idea of how to help your LD students, you'll still need to explore new, innovative ideas to modify your classroom, assignments, and tests, and that's what will be discussed in this lesson. These modifications often spell success for the LD students who need just a little push in the right direction.

Week Six

Wednesday - Lesson 11

You've all had days when going to school was a drag. LD students are no different. Because school forces them to tackle big challenges head on, it's often their least favorite thing to do. This can lead to big behavior problems that you'll have to defuse creatively. This lesson will take a look at some great strategies.

Friday - Lesson 12

The connection between home and school is a powerful predictor of the LD student's classroom success. So this final lesson will discuss the best ways to conduct meaningful parent-teacher conferences that help everyone unite behind an LD child in need.
