Students with Additional Needs: An Introduction

Not all students enter the classroom with the same levels of experience, academic readiness, physical ability, or social-emotional development. Every student brings a unique set of strengths and challenges that shape how they learn and participate.

This module introduces educators to the concept of students with additional needs and explores how to create safe, inclusive, and equitable science and STEM environments. Through practical strategies and best practices, you will learn how to support diverse learners while maintaining high expectations for both safety and academic success.
