Knowing the learning styles of your students

HI Gail - Welcome to ED 103! It generally really depends on the discipline that you teach - e.g. probably culinary students are more likely to be kinesthetic, music students- auditory etc. Still it really pays to try to use all of the styles on a fairly regular basis. Best wishes for a continued success in your teaching career! Susan

Hi Cynthia- You mention an important point. If our students understand how they learn best and also the importance of recognizing that, they will as they become supervisors/managers be better able to yteach/mentor their employees. Best wishes- Susan
