It is important to identify students with learning needs early on

The firstday of class I have each student introduce themselves by stating where they are from and what they majoring in. You learn a lot about your students through observation and attentive listening. I take the time to give some extra attention to students whose first language is not English. I also try to assist slow learners with short exercises.

That is not only good for that situation but also a good ice breaker.

Bret,
you make a great point here. I think the key is through the observation & attentive listening. If we are paying attention to our students, we are much more likely to discover where the serious needs are located.
