Presented by: Usha James, Executive Director, The Critical Thinking Consortium (TC2)
Grade level: All
About this webinar:
According to Learning for All, students who require additional support, like those with LDs, should have a learner profile in place. These learner profiles should give detailed, in-depth information about the learning strengths and needs of the individual student. But do you know what to include in the profile?
In this webinar, the audience will be introduced to a free resource that was created for educators who are facilitating professional learning around the Learning for All document. Participants will be encouraged to think deeply about the strengths and needs of the students with LDs that they support. By the end of this webinar, we will have:
- Expanded our understanding of learning differences
- Examined the sources that inform the learner profiles
- Determined how to recognize and capture learning patterns
