Webinar Wednesday: Supporting Exceptional Students Through Student-Centered Learning Strategies

I had the privilege to participate alongside Sharon Plante in this webinar hosted by Future Ready where we discussed ways we work with teachers and students across curriculum areas and classrooms to prioritize the learning needs of students with disabilities. From coaching, mentoring, and co-teaching to using adaptive technology hardware and software, educators can personalize learning for their students. Also, joining us was Ace Parsi, a spokesperson for the National Center for Learning Disabilities, sharing how advocacy and research can improve outcomes for people with learning and attention issues and other disabilities. Mr. Parsi lent his perspective on about how to shape local and national policy to reduce barriers and ensure opportunity and access for all students.
