https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90 Imagine you are in a class of 20 students, and one of them has a severe learning impairment. Some teachers may view this as a challenge, but others may see it as a chance to make a positive impact. On a scale of zero to ten, where zero represents viewing the situation as a problem and ten represents seeing it as an opportunity, how would you rate your own perspective and why? Respond to at least one post. en-us 2023-06-13 19:37:58 UTC 2025-11-23 14:09:37 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485446 4, chances are if the learning impairment is severe I would likely have support in the classroom. However I almost said higher because I have not taught yet and this maybe a big challenge to me if it was in my first year. ]]> 2023-06-21 22:43:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485446 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485668 2023-06-21 22:43:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485668 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485732 I see it as an opportunity for us as teachers to implement new strategies into our classroom. The changes we make to accommodate special needs learners may not only help them, but also others who are struggling in their own ways. Though, this is still a challenge that will take time, effort, and practice to be done well.]]> 2023-06-21 22:43:48 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485732 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485765 I personally relate with learning 'disabilities' as well as have family who require assistance with basic needs (mentally and physically). I think it is extremely important to take opportunities when possible and to assist and provide resources to those who need it. ]]> 2023-06-21 22:43:53 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485765 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485858 I would rate as 7 
It would be a challenge to balance all the different learners levels in class and the time factor would be an issue, as much as we’d like to influence change, the reality is in the research and trying different strategies ]]> 2023-06-21 22:44:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485858 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485939 I see it as an opportunity to bring inclusiveness to the classroom and everyone should be treated fairly. 
I would rate my perspective at an 8/10 because there is always a learning curve that I need to keep looking to different ways to help each students. ]]> 2023-06-21 22:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629485939 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486011 I'm just not sure the classroom is the best place for all special needs 'opportunities']]> 2023-06-21 22:44:28 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486011 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486089 8 While it is a challenge it also provides opportunities to have the class learn to work with people that see the world differently ]]> 2023-06-21 22:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486089 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486127 7, its a chance to create something amazing with a student that has exceptional needs, but at what cost. If you can balance the needs of all students with that one on one connection then you've won the day. But if your work with that student is limiting your time with others then is it helping everyone else. ]]> 2023-06-21 22:44:50 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486127 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486155 2023-06-21 22:44:56 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486155 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486273 Having the background I have as a former educational assistant, I am fairly confident in saying that I view this as a great opportunity and not as problematic. I would not say I am at a 10 as of yet but I would say I am around a 7/8. I know I will be able to help build an inclusive environment for all students with varying needs but I am in fact still learning many strategies I can use to do so.]]> 2023-06-21 22:45:15 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629486273 https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629487229 2023-06-21 22:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elyssasaige/5f8adlpsdcccjj90/wish/2629487229
