Aligned on discovering issues in early education, my team initiated separate research efforts. To understand the obstacles young students face, I interviewed four elementary school teachers. These teachers work in the San Fernando and Antelope Valley. Speaking directly with these teachers gave us valuable insights into their experiences. Below are three key takeaways about the challenges they encounter in the classroom.
1. Fast-Paced Curriculum means that some students are left behind
Teachers face significant challenges in helping students learn a complex curriculum while meeting educational standards and preventing them from falling behind. Breaking down the curriculum into manageable parts allows students to focus on one aspect at a time, ensuring they fully understand the material before progressing.
2. Many Digital Educational Tools do not provide Immediate Feedback
When talking to teachers , we realized that leaning should not be confined to digital tools. Learning involves many types of modalities people these students are engaging with the material in different ways which can fill in learning gaps.
3. Using Multiple Platforms can result in loss of time and energy
Children enjoy learning from stories because it combines visuals and words together. Repetition helps students learn and memorize certain things.
Once the team had a shared desire to help educators, we began conducting research. I spoke with four teachers from different elementary schools in the San Fernando Valley and Palmdale to better understand the common challenges they and their students with neurodivergence are facing.
