Supporting the learning styles of your students

Hi Heather- Thanks for your post to the forum. I have found that initially tailoring my classes to diverse learning styles does take extra effort. Once I have developed my material however, it is like having a closet of resource materials always at the ready. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan

As you state, they are of course, essential to success in the workplace. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career. Susan
