Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.

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. 

Student learning preference are not a one size fits all. Their style of learning must be incorporated into our lessons.  

Recognizing learners’ preferences helps foster a positive learning environment, while understanding their challenges allows for effective support in overcoming obstacles.

There are multiple learning styles, and it is important to not only teach in one style but to use a variety to ensure everyone is receiving the information provided. Student's my find it difficult to retain information if it's presented to them in way they can't comprehend or fully process. 

Students with learning preferences are more able to comprehend the material and instruction being given. Each student has a different way of learning and comprehending, where as students with learning challenges experience more difficulty in processing the information.

I have found that group work can be very effective in highlighting the various strengths and learning styles of diverse students.
