Case Examples : Every Student can benefit
The Straight A Student
She is popular, involved in clubs and sports. What we don’t see is she struggles with reading. She comes home immediately after practice or games and works on homework for 4 hrs every night. She asked for help in school a few years ago but everyone told her she was doing fine because her grades were good. She started to think that she was doing something wrong and became embarrassed and will not ask for help any more. She pretends that everything is perfect but she is exhausted and stressed out.
The ELD Student
She is such a nice girl. She smiles at everyone and never seems to be in a bad mood. Her family recently moved here from Mexico and her parents do not speak English. She speaks some English and she is getting better at it every day. Sometimes you wonder if she is just smiling at you because she has no idea what you just said and she doesn’t want to be rude. She turns in her homework on time but many times it is not finished.
The Student w/ Blindness
He is probably the smartest kid who has ever been in your class. He uses a screen reader to get a lot of the content needed for his classes. His favorite class? Math. But, he keeps telling you that his screen reader isn’t reading the math homework and you don’t have time to read the problems to him and help the other students.
The TAG Student
There is nothing this kid can’t do and he is proving it by working toward an IB Diploma and excelling in any sport he tries. You cannot imagine how he is fitting everything in his schedule but he is and he is doing it well. He is one of those kids that doesn’t need to spend a lot of time working on homework or studying and school seems to come easy to him.
