My name is Gabriela and I am a graudate from Cal State LA, currently pursing my MA in Educational Technology Leadership. I graduated from Cal State LA in 2019 with a B.A. in Child Development and Minor in Elementary Subject Matter and received my teaching credential in March 2020. Since 2017, I have been working for the El Monte City School District where I am currently an Intervention Teacher.
My educational philosophy is that children learn through a variety of way. The Multimodal Learning Strategies suggest that their are multiple modes to learn from by engaging our senses. The four main modes are visual, auditory, reading and writing and kinesthetic (VARK). The Multimodal Learning Strategies are a step in the right direction for most learners allowing the student to be more aware of learning preferences which may result in a stronger desire to learn new material. Combining learning modes can also result in a more balanced approach to studying and learning which leads to greater understanding, comprehension, and retention. I believe that not one human is the same so why should we be required to learn the same way.
