Student Learning and Assessment--> Teaching to Learning Styles

It completely makes sense to blend different learning styles in order to reach out to more students and have the learning actually apply.
Providing instruction to meet the learning needs of all students is important. Teachers need to be cognizant of their own learning style and avoid providing instruction in that one style. All students have to adjust and learn using different learning styles because all instruction will not be delivered to meet every individual's needs.

I learned that students learn by different learning styles, written, auditory, visual and Kinesthetic. Blended groups is the best practice for teaching a class to reach all learners.
Comment on Jeffrey Mayo Sr's post: Thank you for the detailed breakdown of information. Well written and very informative.
Comment on Russell Hampsey's post: I agree with comment "about projecting our own learning styles." well written. Thank you for insight.
I would like to utilize the learning about students learning styles at the beginning of the course to allow me the opportunity to adjust my approaches to projects and class involvement. Having the students reflect and identify their strengths would be helpful in the planning of presenting of material.
I would suggest reading "Make it Stick" by Brown.
I attempt to use multiple approaches during PowerPoint lectures to appeal to students with varying learning styles.
It is important to conduct a survey at the start of the class to understand the different learning styles. It is also important to have awareness of my own learning style and the importance of delivering the teaching material to meet the different learning styles of the students.
I have always made sure to get to know my students, their goal, characters, and preferences.
I worked with each student individually, and with exercises and encouragements, I made sure that they all achieve as best as possibly they can.
this course gave me some tools I can enhance my teaching.
From this module, I’ve learned that understanding and teaching to different learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic—can greatly improve how students absorb and retain information. Every student processes material in unique ways, so adapting instruction to include a mix of methods helps ensure no one is left behind. I plan to apply this by incorporating more visuals, hands-on activities, and discussions into lessons so that all learners stay engaged and have equal opportunities to succeed.
I learned that everybody learns differently and that it is good to cater to each style of learning.
It is important to be mindful of various learning styles and incorporate them as much as we can in our day to day sessions.
there's a lot of ways to teach a class you need to find the one that best one that suits the students
You are better able to reach all of your students by taking into consideration all learning styles.
Make sure you use a variety of learning styles for your students. Avoid using your personal preference since you may miss some of the learning styles in the process.
I know that I am a visual and kinesthetic learner, so I need to make sure that I also include the learners who are either auditory and/or written learners in my lessons each day.
This helped remind me how I had to learn things. Made me look back to see what happened to me so I can help some students like me.
This was a great reminder of all the different learning styles that people use in daily life. I have already implemented into my classrooms a learning style quiz at the beginning of each new class for them to take individually. We then go through the room and each talk about our learning styles and how best we can learn from what is being taught. This has already helped them understand how to best use their time in learning the skills for the course. As well as having them all see how we each learn differently so patience is needed when communicating with each other in the classroom.
