Teaching with Valor Podcast: A Veteran Teachers Perspective

Send us a text

Welcome to the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re tackling an incredibly important topic—one that impacts countless students in classrooms across the world: identifying and supporting learning disabilities.
As educators, it’s not just our job to teach, it’s also our responsibility to notice when students are struggling and figure out why. In many cases, those struggles may be rooted in a learning disability that, once identified, can open the door to a whole new world of support and success for the student.
