The reading this week shared some strategies which can be used to aid students in independent learning. It was great to learn a few new ones and to know that I have these and can refer to them in the text as a resource. I am particularly interested in these kinds of things because as I have continued my education and experiences in the classroom, I am developing the sense that student-led learning is very powerful. If I teach strategies such as these to my future students, then I believe that they will be able to take an assertive stance in their own education.
I worked on the oral expression disability challenge this week, and it was again a humbling experience. I spent so much time beforehand thinking and stressing about what I could say without using the /l/ or /n/ sounds. I was really worried about repeating back to someone a portion of their directions that they said to me, and had to think about what I could repeat without using the specific sounds. These simulations are a very eye-opening and worthwhile project to participate in. I have found some good people though, who have been so kind and made sure that they looked me in the eye and stopped to listen to me and do what they could to assist me and make me feel like they were giving me their best.
