Bypassing School Disenchantment: Strategies to Promote School Attainment

Abstract

Special Education Needs refers to more than just to students with learning disabilities that impair their access to and participation in education. Many others struggle each day just to stay in school, focus on lessons or make sense about what is taught. Several students face underachievement and dropout because they feel that school is outdated, uninteresting and does not fulfil their learning needs. Here we offer a proposal, often talked about but rarely put into action to bring back struggling students to school: using multiple forms of presenting information and expression, we can attract students that need more dynamic and broader learning strategies. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
