Abstract
This inquiry-based research explores teaching strategies and assessments that minimize frustration in nonverbal students, thus preventing behaviors that hinder learning. Conducted through a literature review and Google questionnaires, the study also involves distributing questionnaires to special education teachers during professional development workshops. Findings indicate that student-centered approaches and preferred teaching strategies effectively engage students and reduce frustration, regardless of whether teachers are in general or special education. Positive teacher-student relationships were also found to impact student frustration levels significantly. These results highlight the importance of implementing student-centered approaches and fostering positive teacher-student relationships to enhance student learning experiences.
