Identifying hidden struggles in the classroom: S2 E5

In this episode of Tier 1 Interventions, hosts Jonily Zupancic and Cheri Dotterer explore the fascinating world of cognitive neuroscience and its implications for education. Together, they explore how simple stimuli like diagonal lines can impact math understanding and classroom engagement. They discuss the importance of line orientation and how it affects students' learning processes and techniques to improve handwriting and math skills. This episode will provide valuable insights for teachers looking to apply brain-based strategies to boost student success across subjects. **************************************************************************** DisabilityLabs.com sponsors this video podcast.
