Abstract

My honors project will be purposeful in researching the learning strategies that help all students and comparing and contrasting them to strategies that specifically help learners with learning differences and/or have special education plans. These exceptional learners have specialized accommodations or educational plans tailored towards their learning needs. In other words, I will research the teaching strategies that are used in the classroom environment from a standard general education standpoint and strategies that are used, specifically, with students that obtain learning differences. In addition, I will analyze this information by comparing and contrasting the groups of strategies with one another. In conclusion, my project will show the similarities and differences between general education strategies and strategies used exclusively with students that obtain learning differences. Within the synthesis of this project, I will also include how the implementation of Social Emotional Learning standards help foster growth in the learning of students, especially ones that obtain learning difficulties.
