Learning Styles

Understanding your own and your students' learning style(s) has become a valuable skill as teachers reflect on and design lessons. We all utilize a combination of learning styles, although we tend to favor certain styles over others. Since teachers tend to "teach from their strength" and utilize learning styles that come naturally to them. If they design lessons to appeal to other learning styles, too, students can utilize and enjoy their favored styles as well.
