5/30/26 - Registration for this class will close the Friday before at 11:30am.

Teaching is becoming more challenging as a profession: more disabilities, less information about these disabilities, and more unruly classes & we add anxious students not being able to succeed.
Being a student also has been perplexing in our time & more stressful too!
Recent research by Stanford University School of Medicine & Harvard university Medical Center found the brain's fear center sends signals to the decision-making part of the brain that makes it harder to regulate negative emotions in chronically stressed or anxious children.
As teachers we need to be aware of dyscalculia & dysgraphia to ensure that students with these learning disabilities can succeed in their math & writing , these cognitive shortcoming affects the brain's ability to process numbers & writing!
The more we know about different conditions of learning disabilities, the better we can better serve our students!
