Learning Styles
I was not surprised to find that I am a tactile learner. This means I learn by doing hands on activities and seeing what I am physically doing. This does not surprise me because of my athletic background over the years. I can learn new plays or strategies in football practice easier than I can learn from setting in class and hearing how to do it. As a teacher I will know how I learn the easiest, but also I will do my best to support all learning styles so every child has a chance to learn in the way that best suits them. Personally I know how frustrating it can be, to be given a set of instructions and not understand how to apply them. A lot of times I felt like if someone could just show me what they wanted me to do, I could achieved the desired results more easily.

It is interesting that you have related your learning style to your love for sports and football. I also like that you plan on using varied learning styles when you teach to offer the best experience for your students.
ReplyDeleteI feel like your learning style fits perfectly into what you want to teach! It should make your job a lot more fun, and should make you a better teacher as well.
