I
enjoyed reading this part of the chapter, particularly the part about the
different learning styles. Not to say younger children in the primary grades
all learn the same, but they are learning basic things that only can be taught
so many ways. As students get older, the material they are learning becomes
more complex, and many people need different accommodations. I have already
started doing this in my student teaching, but when I am a teacher, I want to
mix up the way I teach. It is important to have different activities and
lessons all the time so that one student who cannot learn as well in that
specific way is not stuck. It is hard to teach a class full of very different
people.
Emily, you're right that is is very hard to teach a class full of different students who learn best in completely different ways. It might be even harder for us, as teachers, to accommodate all of our students' specific needs. I hope this section of the chapter gave you some examples on how to teach students with different learning styles. Thanks for sharing!
