There are more demands than ever to know about weaknesses that interfere with storage and retrieval of information. We'll review the LDR (Learning Disabilities Reference) - thinnest textbook in the field – which covers the most common learning disabilities that college faculty face, especially at Curry where @ 25% of the entering class is in PAL. Strategy talk along the way and then open discussion. This is for faculty only (all levels of experience). Coffee, pastry, and a safe place for questions, thoughts, and feelings. Low key conversation style. Certificate of Attendance provided.

This facilitated session gives you an opportunity to "dry run" a 10-15 minute segment of teaching with a friendly group of colleagues. Through constructive discussion following each participant's teaching, you'll gain new ideas, perspectives, and strategies. Feel free to come with part of your first class to teach, something new you're planning to try later in the semester, or anything else. Come early for lunch/discussion.
