question???

It’s a broad question. As to having students understand that not everyone is the same, I’d tell them that outright. I’d speak to and attempt to teach the understanding of different learning styles and learning differences.

Your first question is the harder one. I work hard with my parents and students to have them understand that to help the student best, I need to do things differently for that student. To teach any student best, I should be aware of the many differences any one student can have from others.

I’ll give some students a test in a different format, I’ll allow a student to speak their answers to me, I’ll assign different reading if that works best for their reading level… I’ll offer any accomodation or make any modification to the curriculum to enable the student to successfully learn in my class but… I can’t do any of that with some risk that other students will see it happening. To me it’s virtually impossible to disguise the fact that a student may have a learning difference from the other students in the room.
I’d also encourage the student(s) with learning differences to try to learn to be comfortable with others knowing. Only when others know, can help and support come from them.

As teachers we must all realize that their are differences in how students learn and process information. I have found out that students are interested in finding out what kind of learner they are. This would be beneficial to them and to you. A visual chart of the differences would be interesting to your classes. We also have our own preferred method of assessments to help us determine what students have learned and also to evaluate what we have presented. As teachers, it is important for us to assess students in a variety of ways. In going to the trouble to start giving different types of assessments to various individuals in class might help students begin to see there are differences that they may have realized before. We all must learn to accept differences; we are not the same. I do not know all the information that encompasses the challenge that you have in your classroom, but it does seem you are concerned and want to solve this problem .We are all faced with helping students to be more accepting of others that may be different. I hope you receive helpful information.
