I think that "tell it again (and again)" can be very helpful in regards to students with visual/auditory processing disorders as well as students with speech/language impairments. I believe that relaying the information multiple times and perhaps even in the same way/tone would benefit a student's ability to process and address the instructions accordingly. I feel that "stay flexible" can be applied to almost any type of student, even one with an attitude problem or if you find your students need to learn in a different way than what you had planned. Being able to adjust to your class and classroom climate is a must for any teacher.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that the "show and tell" strategy could be very helpful to students who are visual learners like myself as well as auditory learners (visual/auditory processing disorders). I believe showing someone how to do something while also explaining it verbally works a lot better than just telling someone instructions verbally. With the "show and tell" strategy, you are connecting with the visual/auditory processors which has been proven to engage students. the "tell it again (and again)" strategy would be best related to the disorder of Speech/Language Impairments. This strategy would assist students suffering from this disorder because it would supply them with much needed repetition. Like Rebecca said, relaying the information multiple times in the same way/tone would benefit a student's since many do not understand the first time.
