Why Can’t they Keep Up? Understanding Characteristics and Learning Styles of “Slow Learners”

by Alison Schofield

Most teachers have or will encounter students who seem to have difficulties mastering skills and applying knowledge. Despite increased efforts from teachers, parents and the students themselves, there seems to be a widening gap in their learning and achievement. This workshop will introduce participants to “Borderline Intellectual Functioning” as well as characteristics and learning styles of students with this disorder. Using strategies for introducing concepts, developing differentiated activities and promoting self-confidence can support a student who is “falling between the cracks” and set them on the road to success.

Audience: Teachers of all levels
