First Day Introduction

Submitted by Regina Toscani on Mon, 07/12/2010 - 1:29pm.

I am a Special Education teacher, and a product of the Philadelphia School District.  Growing up with a learning disability (Central Auditory Processing Disorder), I learned being different was not socially or educationally approved or valued. As an adult I am constantly amazed by my very "different" students.  They want to learn and prized all of their accomplishments.
Today's conversation was a bit intimating and overwhelming.  There is more diversity of participants than in previous institutes. The main question that arised for me was, what makes a child so different that they cannot succeed in certain classrooms?  Is it the child, teacher, or the school structure?
