Teacher Methods for Different Learning Styles
In the classroom of all levels of education we experience many different learning styles. Many teachers in career schools have a strong background in their CORE subject but have not had the opportunity to study how to teach to different learning styles in the classroom. Recently I started a teacher and administrator professional development site to give both teachers and administrators the opportunity to take development courses. The courses that will appear will both enhance teachers ability to teach students but will give a greater level of success to student potential. The first courses are related to student advising and learning disabilities you may encounter from students who are in your school. Before coming into the career school sector I had been working with students with learning challenges. From this period of time when I experienced the challenges these students had facing them I completed my masters degree in special education. Now with these experiences I am giving schools the ability to grant professional develpment for their instructors to improve their teaching skills. Pleasec visit our site at Student and Teacher Success Improvement The site will be adding more courses throughout the year. Focus will be continually on school improvement and regulatory compliance.
Short Course on Learning Disabilities
Just the other night I was attending a neighborhood party. During all the conversations we were having I realized one of our good friends had a young daughter who had a leanring disability. For you who know me working with special needs students had been my life for close to twenty years before I entered the proprietary schools. After hearing some of the myths and school IEP meeting struggles I decided to publish an intro to “learning disabilitites” course. Soon you will see the course is available on “Teachable.com”. The URL for my courses are Dr. Carlson’s courses
The presentation is an easy to understand summary of the definition of learning disabilities, assessment value, teaching techniques and teaching approaches that will bring a higher potential for success with special needs students.
This presentation is for teachers at all levels and parents. After my discussion with these parents it stirred me to give some solid proven directions.
My sincere wish is that this can help teachers who have such a wide variety of students in their classrooms. Plus, famialize parents with the process of service.

Educators, Teachers, Parents, Students
Over the past several years education always makes the news when elections are on the horizon. I have now seen seen 12 presidential elections and the politics are always the same when it comes to education and how government can improve its fate. Without question outcomes with our schools has brought about some concern where there used to be state responsibilities for education but now has become more and more tied to the purse strings of the federal government. When President Carter made the statement with commencement of the Department of Education Act with his definition of what it would mean to the American citizens. I have included a link to his direct position on signing the Department of Education Act.

Please read the proposed purpose of creating a Department of Education and you be the judge to decide if  it has worked out as planned? In my days in the 1970’s it was looked upon as necessary to have  have a representation for supporting our schools. Throughout the past 37 years has it become more of a watchdog approach to our communities and states? Has our teachers been given directions that could reduce the ability to be creative with students and allow students to be creative? Are we measuring our schools with standardized testing so they can be praised or punished? How much help has been addressed to schools who are struggling rather than punishing them? My opportunities has allowed me to visit schools all over America and the diversity from one state to another is related to the communities our students grow up and live. As educators we know there is no one approach that fits all.
Our approach of governance has allowed decisions being made for our communities by people we will never meet. Funding for schools becomes a matter of bureaucracy where all schools abide by cookie cutter approaches. The decision making has been taken away from local boards, school leadership and teachers with extreme government oversight. Our USDOE has the opportunity to interpret government legislation and implement their guidance to schools across America. This is true for all schools receiving any type of federal funding. The danger of accepting federal dollars are the strings attached. I have grave concerns when I see schools closing, teacher layoffs, programs being discontinued and sanctions being place on schools who have already been struggling. Through the past seven years we have been more than gracious to bail/out a number of industries but have done nothing but criticize our school performances. Our education system need change. The governmental system and structure has not kept up with the times for our students.
Performance and outcomes for our schools are important. Let’s begin to implement a process where schools can measure the performance and provide the development strategy to improve. Your voice with your candidates and elected officials has never been needed more than now. If you have an interest in our education system in America please let your elected officials know what you are thinking.
Thank you for supporting America’s education improvement.
