Selecting instructional strategies for visual learners

HI Justin - Bringing in material to class probably cots you nothing but your time, but as you say the students can really learn a lot from those resources. Excellent! Susan

Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Peggy- Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, that unfortunately is the case. I have seen students who did poorly in high school, because they were primarily lectured to, suddenly become great students because we are teaching to their learning styles. Really exciting! Best wishes - Susan

Using alternative assessments

HI Justin - do you use grading rubrics for the projects you assign? I think it's great that your students must explain how their projects relate to what they have learned in their classes. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

Knowing the learning styles of your students

Hi Faylee- Thanks for your post to the forum. While many adult students have learned to adapt to other learning styles just through their life and/or work experience, we do find adults that will not learn well unless their dominant style is addressed. This is why, as you point out, we MUST adjust our delivery to meet these challenges. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
