1) Many applicable strategies being shared. Takes diligence to consciously weave them into our lessons. Practise and evaluate if they do work for targeted students
2)While there are common strategies, there is no one size fits all.  We do need to customise for a particular child whose needs are so special.

1. customize lessons according to the learning needs of the students. Always get feedback from them
2. Always put myself in their shoes and be more empathetic to their learning needs.

I learn that APIE can indeed be stretched out over 4 years for more intensive training for the tier 3 students. This will definitely help out the students through repeated review of our strategies. One question though, will the intensive training be stressful and detrimental to the development and growth of the student?

I also learnt that there are many links that can be accessed to help students transition into tertiary institutions. This is very important as most of our students are very sheltered here and would lack the competency to deal with issues when placed in a microcosm of society.

1) I have come across many students with dyslexia.  However, after this lesson, I gained great insights about the different strategies that can be adopted to help them. I was really wowed at the vast strategies that can be used to help them.

2) I also learned that it is important not to label them. We have to be patient and empathise with them.  Having good TSR, TTR, and even PTR is important in helping the child.  Also, peer relationship is important for the child. So, it is important for teache  to create a caring culture in class so the child will feel more at ease in class.

1) Type of difficulties of a child with SLI (Specific Learning Impairment) can change as they grow older and it is important to go for regular assessment
2) It is not an individual effort but a team effort if we want to see the child progress.

1. We need to work together to apply the strategies discussed, it has to be consistent and constantly used.

2. We need to put aside time to recalibrate and "re-do" our resources/materials. Learning strategies is one aspect, but having the time during the term to design resources needs time as well. It should be deliberate and not ad-hoc.

1) We need to have proper documentation (EF/APIE) to not only hand over/transition students with SEN to the next level but also to the next IHL.
2) There are various support/links that we can tap on for number (1). As a start, the links and salient points are in Expert Group 2 slides:  https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/11S4miMvuP3HeT-hdxFNVU3iH5G57onYTgPkZdIBlAsI/edit#slide=id.gc84a8aef01_1_6

1. AA is essential for learning disability students so that they can be assessed as well. And we just help one student at a time with bringing them up 1 level as well.

2. Amazed by so many resources have been raised in this community and continue. I am also now supporting to build resources in this area

# data[].attributes.body
Reading and understanding more about different learning disabilities enable us to be more aware and speak a common language.

All of us have a common goal to support the child, even though we may have different opinions and ways of doing so. We can communicate and update each other regularly so that we are on the same page.

# data[].attributes.body
In Spectra, we have been embarking on many of these strategies; thus it is heartening to know we are on the right track.
Next, I have learned that the environmental factor is very crucial for the child to grow cognitively. Peer support and positive strokes from the teachers will go far when the child handles his/ her anxiety level thus learning challenge.

# data[].attributes.body
It is important to understand our "users" and their "experiences" when we design our resources so that we do not confuse them. Common strategies like multiple representation of info, linking small chunks of info, getting students to make meaning and to allow them to demonstrate learning in different ways could help the entire class.

Second take away is to constantly re-evaluate our strategies and see if they are still relevant or should we decrease the amount of scaffold and support so that students with LD can learn to be independent too.

1. Understand the different types of learning disabilities and tips for helping students to cope.

1) Many of the strategies that have been suggested can be used across different subjects and if we can adopt such strategies there will be some form of continuity or consistency for our students.

2) I think we need to slow down in our teaching and allow the thinking process to take place in our students. We take for granted that all our students can present us with answers instantly but many of them need the time to think through slowly to be able to process and present their thoughts.

It takes a team effort, with care, good positive objectives to foster the strategies and make it fruitful for all.

Take stride it a process of reflection , application, practice and discussion to make adjustments.

1. Never assume that what was Taught is necessarily what was Learned.
This resonated with me as educators are sometime caught trying to finish the syllabus or lesson objectives that checking on learning is sometimes overlooked. This is especially so students with learning needs who may not be able to articulate what they still dont comprehend or understand.

2. Pacing of lessons has an impact on what and how our students learn. I will need to relook if I can vary my teaching pace and style to suit their needs.

1. MLE is applicable to all age groups. It's an approach which is individualised to the learner/child rather than to the external factors such as in relation to their condition.

2. Got to know that there is a speech-to-text software to help with writing/reading for students who are struggling.

(1)
It’s important that there is a continuation in the support that is provided for the students from the different level of learning (eg. primary to secondary to tertiary)
A continuity is essential to give the proper support to the student.
As an educator, we have to perform our duty of care to help these students. If support is not given/ maybe insufficient, the student may not enjoy and have a different perspective of the learning.

(2)
All teachers teaching a certain of students with learning disabilities need to know the needs of each student to enable to support them. It will be difficult even for the student to understand. The student will be confuse.
Speaking the same language is necessary. Consistency is important for these students. In Spectra, we believe that ‘It takes a village to raise a child’. When all of us learn about the child together, we share notes and resources, not only we help the child , we also help ourselves (just like a jigsaw).

1. Meaningful Strategies
Deeper reflection as to apply to right and meaningful strategies to help our students @Spectra to cope with the LDs that they are facing.

2. Consistency
The need to be consistent in executing and implementing the strategies for our students so that they won’t be lost in their own world.

# data[].attributes.body
1) I get to learn the different strategies that can be used / already used at school. These strategies are quite useful and applicable that are pitched at our students’ learning level.
2) I learn about Mediated Learning which it will be good for teacher to apply for teaching & learning so students can learn with specific and clear objectives. Also, we help students to learn independently, knowing what they are supposed to learn and adjust the difficulty for them so they can be more confident as well.

# data[].attributes.body
1) reaching out to SEN students has to be deliberate.
2) Make use of visuals, making sure students understand us by slowing down how we speak.
3) a collaborated effort by a majority of teachers in the school will certainly make a big difference to the learning of our students.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Good teaching practices will benefit ALL our students, not just students with learning disabilities.
2. Thinking about AA, it's true that many of our students are not able to utilise it optimally and extra time might not actually beneficial for some students. I wonder how can we identify these students and help them.
