Being mindful of cultural diversity encourages instructors to be more creative and flexible in the classroom.
I learned that the language of learning challenge and not disability is important. I also will take into practice encouraging students to register their challenge with the university so they have the resources they need.
There are many different types of learning challenges, and I should not assume each student will have the same challenges or preferences.
Students are individuals. Therefore, they may have different learning styles. I plan to use this knowledge to prepare to plan for all students to succeed. I will foster a positive, unassuming, and inclusive environment.
I learned the difference between a preference and a challenge. Preference is how a student prefers to receive information. Challenges may be how a student struggles with comprehending material in the manner in which it is presented. Again, using a variety of teaching methods helps to reinforce the topic and address various preferences and challenges.
Learning preferences are how a person finds it easiest to learn, and can be read, pen to paper, listening, or hands on. Challenges to learning can be many things including: language barriers, cultural misunderstandings, stereotypes and bias, and engagement or motivation.
Rubrics and portfolios are good means to assess student learning.
Being mindful of cultural diversity can help instructors to get creative in the classroom setting. If challenges do arise, changes can be made to address cultural needs.
Not sure what to comment here, familiar territory, inclusivity, flexibility, make it fun for all
Successful teachers will utilize a variety of learning styles to ensure all their students have the opportunity to grasp the knowledge being disseminated.
Identifying various learning styles and preferences allow for a variety of teaching modalities to utilized. It encourages students success based on their learning style and individual needs,
It is important to recognize student's learning preferences to best offer them information in ways they prefer, such as group-work, lecture, videos etc. This will help tailor learning to what the learner prefers and hopefully keep them engaged and learning. But, it is also important to recognize when students are facing learning challenges as these should be addressed as soon as possible for students to have the best opportunity.
Create open communication with students so that we get to know and understand each learning style and challenges.
Each person/student learns differently. Such as some learn by lecture, others learn by demonstration, while others learn by doing. The instructor should present the information so that no matter what the learning style is, the student can learn the material and understand what they have learn.
There are always learning challenges it is important to understand each student learning preferences and the way they interpret information
Everyone has their own preference of learning styles. It's my job to be inventive, incorporating different styles to better meet the needs of the entire class.
Learning challenges may not be flexible and accomodating of information presented in one way. These challenges must be respected if students are to learn.
Learning the difference between learning preferences and learning challenges. Everyone has a preferred learning style.
I have learned to incorporate many different teaching styles and elements into my classes in order to allow for as many individuals as possible to have their learning styles met.
I have learned to make sure I pay attention to each student's learning styles, and to accommodate my teaching methods when applicable to ensure each individual person can learn the information or skill I am trying to teach in the way that makes the most sense to them. As a clinical instructor, my role will be very hands-on, and I will be able to show my students in a variety of ways (verbal instruction, demonstration, discussion) about the skills they will be learning.
