Special Needs Snippet: Find Your Student's Learning Style Teachers tend to use a teaching approach which matches their own best way to learn. However, a teacher's way of learning may clash with a given student's best method of learning. Every good teacher does want a child to succeed. So, it may become necessary to do some probing to determine more about the student's strengths and weaknesses. This probing is often done through formal assessments. Informal assessments may also yield valuable information. Any type of assessment should furnish the teacher with ideas for teaching in ways which would maximize the child's potential and also lessen the student's and teacher's stress levels.

'Home School Heartbeat': Patrick Henry College Institute As mainstream America becomes dominated by a relativistic worldview, how do Christians stay grounded in the truth of the Bible? This week, Dr. Graham Walker and Dr. Gene Edward Veith will unpack some ideas that are threatening the basic principles of the American founding, absolute truth, and Christian higher education.
