Every child is unique. They have different needs and react differently to separate situations. This is an important idea, especially in education. Fortunately, Dr. Carolyn Nooks Teague provides excellent material for adults dealing with children’s education.
A massive part of children’s education relies on their ability to consume and process the lessons and share what they’ve learned. Regardless of how significant the class is or how excellently the teacher teaches, it doesn’t matter if the children have cognitive problems or difficulties.
They may fall within these two categories: They either learn the lesson well but have trouble sharing or talking about what they’ve learned. Or, they need help understanding concepts and would work better with other means. These don’t make them slow learners, and treating them as such won’t contribute to their education. They need a different approach to education from the rest.
However, children with these problems don’t stand out physically and are often misunderstood. This is where the problem begins.
An Aid to Identifying These Children
When children have trouble catching up on their daily lessons, they’re typically and easily tagged as the slow learners in class, without regard to any disabilities that may have contributed to this learning pace. Worst case scenario, they’ll grow up known as the bunch that isn’t the sharpest tools in the shed and get treated as one of the slower learners. Instead of helping them out, following this may stand in the way of their development.
Oh, if only there was a way of helping teachers and adults to recognize these children!
A perfect way to differentiate children with cognitive disabilities from those who are simply struggling to catch up is by looking at their learning and behavioral patterns. This can be achieved through a standard educational approach, assisted by an educator equipped to see symptoms and behavioral symptoms. However, familiarizing these psychological concepts isn’t a requirement for teaching. In other words, teachers may need help to pinpoint these behaviors or symptoms.
Fortunately, Dr. Carolyn Nooks Teague might have the book to help.
The Blueprint for Children’s Learning
Her first material, titled Three Dimensions of Learning, offers a comprehensive look into the hows of children’s education. Dr. Nooks-Teague details how they consume knowledge from the womb to outside, in school, and society, helping parents prepare their children for life outside.
The book also lists developmental milestones and how these can assist parents throughout their children’s growth. In support of these milestones, parents are also provided with learning materials to help them recognize signs of possible learning conditions and developmental delays.
A concept highlighted in the book is the connection parents, teachers, or any educators must have with children. To support their education, Dr. Nooks-Teague mentions that adults shouldn’t only focus on the children’s academic and technical skills. Instead, adults must also connect with them at an emotional level, learning about their interests, passions, and interests. These data can assist them further in recognizing symptoms of learning conditions and disabilities.
Three Dimensions of Learning is an excellent introductory book for parents and educators wishing to learn more about how the brain develops from birth to childhood. It’s a source of scientifically proven strategies that prompt their awareness of children’s changes. The book also gives rise to the importance of recognizing disabilities from a younger age, breaking the stigma existing around children with learning conditions.
