Adapting Your Instructional Strategy

Public

Discussion:

Hi Linda,
You have a very good understanding of adult learners. Your ability to identify and then work with their learning styles will be very helpful to them because as you say many of them have negative experiences that have led them to developing negative learning styles. Not to mention their lack of study skills. All of these things need to be dealt with while keeping their interest up so they won't drop out. It is what makes teaching so interesting.
