Insights form diverse learners.

All the teachers are trying to bring important content to their lessons.  We are also trying to assess the learning that takes place.  One of my lessons asked students to be observant and think critically as they learned about the art of letter making.  They were to document their understanding on a worksheet.   To date the most perceptive student in my classes is also an unlikely one.  This young man has a challenging existance and struggles with many things, including the handout designed to document his understanding of the material.  While he wasn't able to demonstrate his comprehension in writing his participation was superb, both in quality and quantity.  His participation helped the class and helped me as a teacher.  I will always remember this young man as I try to accomodate diverse learners in my classroom.  The Circle Round the Schools Program deserves considerable credit, the small class size made it easy to see and acknowledge this boy's brilliance.
