Update: I originally thought this was from a teacher but it is from a parent. My apologies
Below is a post from a parent, “No Confidence,” from another thread but I read it and said bingo! (Emphasis mine.)
I think that the first change that could make some difference would be for teacher & administrators to understand the limits of their abilities to assess. At least the teacher could say, Sally is learning differently than many other kids I see and we don’t know why. Johnny is refusing to do writing assignments and we don’t know why.
Next I think that PD should include training about learning & developmental differences, with case studies, to the extent that at least teacher are familiar with the possibilities. (I have spoken with so many SPS teachers & administrators who believe that twice exceptional kids don’t exist.) There are signs to look for.
