Welcome to another episode of the Teaching with Valor Podcast. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today we’re diving deep into one of the most essential topics in modern education: strategies for teaching diverse learners.
Classrooms today are more diverse than ever—culturally, linguistically, and in terms of learning needs. As educators, we are not only responsible for ensuring that each student receives the academic instruction they need but also for adapting our teaching methods to meet the unique challenges that come with such diversity.
