  7. Valerie – CONROE ISD (verified owner) –

    Mr. Gangwer did an excellent job in presenting very helpful information regarding the 2E student. We as teachers are aware of the different types of students with neurological disorders and how they learn, but it was a great review. I found most particularly interesting strategies that teachers can use in order to promote learning in the 2E students. It seems as if the 2E student population is on the rise or we are now recognizing and acknowledging them more. This presentation should be shown at the beginning of each semester during staff development and not only to teachers, to the entire faculty and staff because they are in contact with these students as well.
