Will Hennessy shares about fostering neurodivergent learners’ growth on episode 499 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
Quotes from the episode
Tourette syndrome is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary, internal and external tics that occur repeatedly in the same way. OCD is a neurological disorder that causes problems with information processing.
-Will Hennessy
I honestly thought that I just wasn't as smart as my peers, that I just needed to try harder, or that one day, I guess, it would just kinda all click in my brain. Now, obviously, I know that's not the case now, but that's kind of where I was at.
-Will Hennessy
I want to create inclusive learning environments for neurodivergent learners and introverts, students like me.
-Will Hennessy
Structure is incredibly important for neurodivergent learners. Even though we're implementing flexibility and choice, it doesn't necessarily mean that it has to be a free for all where students can just do whatever they want, that could actually hinder learning.
-Will Hennessy
Neurodivergent learners need structure. All learners need need structure.
