Teaching Diverse Learners
All learners are diverse and unique in their learning abilities. We need to help students capitalize on their strengths and improve upon their weaknesses. While we do this, we must also give the students the neccessary career skills needed. Getting to know your students will allow you to identify their strengths and weakness and thurs develop the career skills necessary for the career. Even though all students are different, they have one thing in common. They all have the ability to learn!
Outstanding comment Melissa - you are truly an instructor/facilitator. I particularly like "all learners are diverse and unique in their abilities" and that we should capitalize on strengths and improve weaknesses.
When an instructors treats all students the same and give them positive encourage, learning will take place.
Good job!

I believe in getting to know students will allow you to identify their strengths in the classroom as well. I have found reading their homework assignments and giving them a chance to do an essay via a quiz or an exam a successful tool to find out how diverse a learner the student is and then adapt the course content applicably.
