Homework & Special Needs Students
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. It has long been recognized that special needs students require an additional set of policies with regard to their learning curriculum if they are incorporated into a regular education classroom. However, teachers have noted that there is hardly a student -- regular or special needs -- who does not require some sort of learning adaptation based upon one's individual learning styles, abilities and requirements. Among these policies is the concept of assigning different homework duties from the rest of the students in order for the special needs child to better understand the required homework and be able to fully execute the lesson. The writer addresses these needs based on empirical studies. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
