A Little History and Culture: Inter-sex 1 in 2000 Alex was born with both kibbles and bits of a male and female. Obviously her parents raised her as a girl but they ultimately wanted her to be able to decide when she was old enough. Against other peoples opinions and thoughts this is what they wanted. Intersex births Some intersex people are placed in a larger third gender social group. In most other cultures people born intersex are expected to conform to one of the two genders First and foremost the doctors should tell the parents of the case and never do the surgery without consent of the parents. 1 in 1500 Were they right in doing this? Lastly, if the parents decided not to get the surgery done they then allow their child to make the final decision when they are old enough. "often [at] infancy and without their consent." XXY: inter-sex Now, most of the time People have the ability to make their own decision about surgery (cc) image by nuonsolarteam on Flickr to The Doctors Transgender Surgery would take place Statistics As Ed Garton would say, "the kibbles and bits of both."

Transcript: Using Multiple Intelligences with Learning Disabilities By: Ra'John and Dena Research shows that at least 4 to 6 percent of all students in our nation's public school system are classified as having some kind of learning disability. We as future teachers must be prepared to help educate the different students we will come in contact with inside the classroom. Therefore, it is vital that we ourselves are educated in the different ways to help a child learn! By understanding the various multiple intelligences and incorperating them in classroom learning will help us better understand the different learning styles we will come in contact with. Students with learning disabilities can better learn with visuals that can explain what the teacher is trying to get across. Multiple Intelligences: Interpersonal Intrapersonal Logical/ Mathematical Music Spatial Naturalist Virbal/ Linguistic Bodily/ Kinesthetic Direct Instruction and Learning Strategy Instruction: Break learning into smaller steps Give regular quality feedback Paint a picture in the students minds by using diagrams, graphics, and more! Provide them with a chance to practice what they are trying to learn Provide students with good, understandable strategies they can use Keep the students engaged by asking questions http://www.ldanatl.org/aboutld/teachers/understanding/strategies.asp Information about learning styles is helpful for everyone especially for students with learning disabilities. If we as teachers are able to find out what type of multiple intelligence will be beneficial to students with learning disabilities, then we will be able to get the students involved! A few guidelines to help teachers reach out to students with learning disabilities are: Always ask questions in a clarifyig manner Try to use visuals and props to make lessons be interesting and clear in the minds of the students Use outlines and detailed directions Always verbilize what you are expecting from them Use straight forward instructions with step by step explanations Use pleanty of examples Allow for peer to peer interaction between students to encourage interpersonal communication. Make it clear there are NO barriers!
