Assessments include an un-timed Kahoot! to help the student evaluate how note taking supported their comprehension of the presentation.  I will also give a Google Doc based self assessment form that invites the learner to share "takeaways" from the class and identify possible situations where they can continue to practice these note-taking strategies. Assessments are optional and may be done after class.  As we close each class section I will also ask students to evaluate and share verbally or in the chat how the note-taking strategy worked for them.

This class teaches note-taking strategies that help learners with dyslexia or dysgraphia explore strategies that are simple and use few words.  Learners with ADHD will also explore new techniques to improve working memory and improve focus.

The sketch note section of the class was inspired by the video "Sketchofrenzy: The Basics of Visual Note-Taking".  I have permission from the creator to share this resource with students and families.
