• What modifications for learners who are exceptional do you see?

This time I was able to work more with the students and noticed a few things.  Some of the students were working on different note books than others when they were working individually with teacher.  I noticed most during the reading time that she had.  Some students were working in more difficult books than others.  I asked her why and she said that some of her students were on different reading levels and when she is working one on one with the students she really likes to push them.  She does that when it is one on one because she does not want the other students to feel like they are not all equal when working in groups.  If they are all working on different books then they might feel like they are not good enough.

I loved that she took the time to work individually with the students on their own level of learning.  It was good to see a teacher that really did take notice of what each student needs and helping to cater to that need.  I liked that she did this individually and it did not make the students that were not on a higher reading level feel as if they were less of a student.
