I am an elementary regular education teacher. This year I have many different learners in my classroom. I am starting this blog to share my experiences and receive feedback from you. What are your ideas and practices on this topic?
Yesterday we had a special speaker talk to my class about nutrition. Two classes were together so we met on the stage rather than my classroom. As soon as the soft spoken speaker introduced herself, I realized my three hearing impaired students would not be able to hear a word she said. The microphone system for the stage was unfamiliar to me. I managed to get it working appropriately so my students could benefit from the presenter. It felt awkward and intrusive to set up the audio system after she started, but I endured the embarrassment for the sake of my students.
