Children

This week I learned so much about children with disabilities. After watching the videos for class, my heart was broken. It was really hard to watch how people were treated just because they weren't fully understood. I think that it is so crazy for this time period of unfairness to only occur a couple of decades ago. I know that we have come a long way in research and understanding, but it still seems like we treated those people so primitively not so long ago.I think by looking back on the past, we can help drive our future.
I also learned this week how we can use different teaching methods to help our classrooms and to change the way our students learn. I think there some great methods like, team teaching and alternative teaching so that it can help those students that are struggling. I know as a student, I struggled in school at times and I loved breaking off into groups to learn more and bounce ideas off one another. It was helpful for me to see a peer's perspective that is my age, instead of trying to understand my teacher's way of thinking.
