It is highly critical that we adapt instruction to meet the needs of students with exceptionalities such as learning disabilities, ESL, etc . Besides these noted exceptionalities, it is also crucial for us to note the interests and skills of each and every student within our classroom. As we have learned thus far, students have a wide variety of learning styles. Through using these various learning styles, we have the opportunity to encourage engagement and learning within our future classes. Additionally, by getting to know our students’ strengths, weaknesses, and interests we have the ability to help make our classes more profitable and stimulating for our students. Accommodating for exceptionalities, learning styles, and interests involves teachers getting creative with their lesson planning and teaching strategies. Consequently, some days may not go as well as others, but as long as we continue to strive to better students’ learning, we will find ourselves becoming the effective teachers that we all desire to be.
