Embracing Introversion (and shy/quiet learners)
This article really caught my eye (after it caught Paula Kluth's eye-see end note).
While I was reading it and came across this line:
...while introversion is a preference for environments that are not overstimulating...
Though the article is about Introverts and has statements like:
Introverts need space,...Introverts need time...Asynchronous learning environments..
my mind right away went to people on the Autism Spectrum.
Please do check out this article as a different way to think about learning opportunities and environments for students that do need space, time, etc.
