Using a mix of approaches to reach various learning styles will give you the biggest opportunity for students' retention and comprehension of information. Something that really stood out for me was in that video, the instructor said in the first 2 weeks of taking a class, your students ARE their classroom comments. So he suggested you need to be empathetic to the students right away and make them feel supported in what they say. One way of doing that is having them expand on a comment. Another way is to praise them at the end of class on their way out.
The course teaches how to incorporate and identify different learning characteristics. I can effectively deliver a great learning experience that will help all my students be successful in learning the material and not just a percentage by understanding how they learn and access the best delivery while still keeping time management to the curriculum. I can incorporate many styles of learning on the same topic at the same time.
My biggest take away is no only learning the different learning styles, but also ensuring that I don't fall into the habit of teaching the way I prefer to learn.
I appreciate how the VARK systm of teaching will help me navigate students strengths.
The learning styles and knowing them are very important, by understanding the learning style and discovering student's preferred style of learning, it makes it easier for both professor and student to follow the direction of that particular style and help the student learn faster.

It is vital to understand that every student has a different learning style. Blended teaching to these different learning styles will probably be the best way to go. It is also beneficial if the instructor knows their learning style so they can relate.
There are many things to take into consideration when preparing to teach a class. Remembering the EESP from Rita and Calvin Dunn will help tremendously when preparing to teach. keeping in mind the sensory methods of learning will also help to prepare and keep the interest of different types of learners. Using AWVK will also help the learner try a different style of learning that they may not have tried in the past but may prove to be beneficial in the future.
If requested build is powerpoint only. Involve the Instructor... advise and educate them on how to best serve ALL students with incorporating blended learning.
Given the various learning styles of students, it is essential to understand the styles of your students and shape instruction accordingly.
I have gained knowledge about the characteristics of each leaning style and the type of activities that would appeal to each learner. Incorporating activities from each style will help students to grasp the concepts without leaving anyone behind.
To allow group work AND solo work as well.
By varying teaching methods to meet different learning style needs, students will be able to learn and retain information better and will be more successful in measured outcomes.
I completely agree with you. I will always try to tailer my lectures and when I assign projects, I allow the students to teach the teacher and they will typically teach in the way they wish to learn, thereby providing insight.
There are 4 different learning styles to be consider to when lecturing my students. By giving variety of informational sources and applying different delivery styles, I can achieve a great improvement in learning and teaching.
Employing teaching methods that reach all learning styles offers an way to reach most learners and enhance mastery by presenting new information in a multisensory approach
I have learned that I should utilize as many teaching tools as possible in order to reach as many different learning styles as possible.
By designing delivery of course content to address multiple learning styles you can maximize the "reach" of course content.
