Struggling Student - Fall 2011

In my 75 hour clinical I designed and implemented a PBL that dealt with one of my struggling students issues (staying seated, and moving around during class).  My PBL and lessons were all focused on the students use of movement and being out of their seats;  there were a few lessons that required students to be seated for lectures but I made them interactive asking and engaging students in the learning process. 

For the short time I was able to implement this PBL, students were able to gather some of the main content I was teaching.  My struggling student still had some problems but was able to make also make proper connections with the lessons and the content.  I feel with more time and a stronger foundation of the principles of my lesson that even stronger connections could have been made.  From my observations I didn't see a decline in learning but there was evidence of engagement of the PBL. 

Again, I feel with more time and implementation of learning styles the struggling student, I feel would have made more and maybe even different connections to real world experiences.
