What has worked for me with the learning disability students.
This has worked for me with the learning disability students, making the lecture material available in an outline has helped some students stay forcused and lets them review the information on their own time after class. I tried not to single these stduent out because I feel that sometimes adds a stigma and these students already need to work a bit harded. Also having the material and providing the outline to everyone in the class. As this section points out, this helps everyone.
That is a great idea! The publisher of our used textbook also provides the same and I have never thought of printing them out and handing them to the students. I more have used them as a guide for myself to create my own powerpoint.
I do something similar, Mary. The publisher of the textbooks I use in my lecture classes provides instructors with PowerPoint slides to accompany each chapter in the book. I print the PowerPoint slides as handouts and make them available to all students in the class. During lecture, this allows the students to focus on what I'm saying rather than worrying about keeping up with note-taking.
