Thirty-six teachers attended a Hidden Sparks sponsored session presented by Director of Education, Karen Kruger, at The Jewish Education Project’s Professional Development Day on November 8, 2011. Exploring the topic: “Classroom Modifications to Enhance Student Success”, participants considered the dominant learning pathways that are involved with classroom procedures and classroom setup. They discussed and developed strategies for students who struggle with spatial ordering, temporal sequential ordering, social cognition and language. Karen kept participants engaged as she provided an overview of what it might look like when students struggle with these different pathways of learning and then encouraged participants to think about their students who might have similar challenges. As one participant noted, “I was given great ideas and insights into how to help my students achieve. I plan to try some of these strategies immediately.”
