Janice Hale has made a significant contribution to assisting educators and others in understanding the cognitive style of African American children. In her book, she covers the concepts of emotive style (especially as it exists historically in the Black community), relational vs. analytical learning styles and some solutions for how to better reach (and teach) African American youth. Her writing is timeless, as valid today (in 2000) as it was when I first read it (in 1993) and when it was first published (1986, I believe). This book is a "must read" for anyone interested in gaining insight into how schools (and teachers) can better serve the educational needs of African American youth, particularly in understanding the emotive style of communication most African American youth are exposed to in church and family gatherings. While not a validation for "Ebonics" which I do not support this book definitely makes the case that the relational style of learning and emotive communication style are vital parts of the African American communitys legacy, tradition and uniqueness.

You are here: Home Teaching and Learning Strategies Learning Styles Articles Recommended Reading Related links For the last twenty years or so, as diversity in our country has been growing, hundreds of different kinds of assessments have been developed to determine individual differences. There have been tests that determine perceptual differences, world view (i.e. field dependent and independent), learning styles, personality differences (i.e. Myers-Briggs), different kinds of talents, and different kinds of intelligence. The results of these tests are of little value unless they can be applied to helping students to learn and teachers to teach more effectively. They can be destructive when they are used primarily to "pigeon-hole" students in their own eyes and the eyes of others. We offer here a few of the most useful kinds of assessment. These tests are especially helpful when taken first by the teacher in order to determine his or her own profile. Thereby the teacher can guard against teaching in only that way and as a consequence making it very difficult for students who do not share a similar profile. It appears that the best use of this information is to help teachers broaden their array of teaching strategies so that students are learning at least part of the time in ways they find comfortable, and at other times in ways that stretch them into new ways of thinking and learning.

Strong, and Matthew J. Perini Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, 2000 ISBN 0-87120-387-1 At a time when there is increasing diversity of learners in every classroom, Many teachers are finding it challenging to help each student to identify his or her unique strengths and use them to learn successfully. So Each May Learn fills an important need by integrating Jung's theory of psychological types with Howard Gardner's Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The six chapters include an introduction to multiple intelligences, an introduction to learning styles, how to connect the two models on brain-based principles, how to realign the curriculum so it incorporates both models, how to design integrated performance assessments, and how to teach students about learning styles and MI. The appendixes include inventories for the two models and a teaching strategy index. The book is filled with charts, diagrams, and numerous examples from the field. It is a timely, practical, and extremely valuable book for teachers on all levels and in every subject-matter area.

Some students want their teacher to write everything on the board. Others prefer to listen. Some like to sit in small groups and discuss a question; others like to listen to a lecture, translating it into pictures or doodles in their notebook. Such individual learning preferences are known as learning styles. Learning styles are generally divided into three categories: (1.) visual learners, who need to see it to know it, (2.) auditory learners, who need to hear it to know it and (3.) tactual learners, who need to touch it to know it. Once you understand your child's learning style, you may be able to help him adjust his approach to the classroom and his study habits for maximum benefit. Below are a few links that offer evaluations to determine a person's learning style preferences as well as learning tips that would suite specific learning styles. However

30. Learning Styles? is not likely to teach these things without some handson instruction and experience, regardless of whether a student s main learning style is verbal or not. http://www.garlikov.com/teaching/Lstyles.htm

Learning Styles? Rick Garlikov One of the recent education fads is the "learning styles" approach that argues that information needs to be presented to students in different styles speech, musical presentation, visual art, writing, tactile ("hands-on"), in a dramatic presentation such as a play, or whatever other sort of presentation might appeal more to the way different students supposedly learn best. Furthermore, students need to be tested using, different styles so that those who have difficulty taking multiple choice tests or writing essays can still demonstrate what they have learned in a way that they are better able to communicate it. The idea is that some people learn better when they hear speech, others hear better through music, others learn better from some sort of visual communication (whether graphs, pictures, video, classroom demonstrations, computer or tv graphics or video, etc.), others from acting out a performance or doing an experiment or playing with representative objects "manipulatives" or by writing, etc.). Similarly, many students are thought to demonstrate their knowledge better if they can do it in some way other than writing down test answers. I had one college teacher who, when asked a question about something he had just said or that was assigned in the previous night's reading, would say it over again louder and louder and write it on the board in the same words, using different colors of chalk for each repetition, as if the reason we could not understand him was that we were either deaf or color blind. It never occurred to him to try to explain something in different words or in a conceptually different way. For him, using different colors and different vocal volumes was to explain it in a "different way". The same problem occurs when one uses a different "style" but essentially conveys the same information, when it is the information conveyed that is problematic, not the manner in which it was conveyed.

31. Visual Spatial Learners - Lesley Sword I Think in Pictures, You teach in Words The Gifted Visual Spatial Learner. by Lesley Sword. Talk to students about learning styles in class. http://www.nswagtc.org.au/ozgifted/conferences/SwordVisualSpatial.html

I Think in Pictures, You Teach in Words: The Gifted Visual Spatial Learner by Lesley Sword My introduction to visual spatial learning was a walk around the Melbourne zoo with Linda Silverman many years ago when she handed me an article she’d written and said ‘here, you may be interested in this”. Three months later I saw my first gifted visual spatial learner and I learned a lot from him. Since then I have worked and studied with Linda in Denver and have seen nearly 200 such children and adults, Gifted visual spatial learners keep coming to see me and I am still learning. Dr Linda Silverman, the pioneer of the Visual Spatial Learner concept identifies two types of gifted visual spatial learners. The first is children identified as gifted who score extremely high on an IQ test because of their great ability both with tasks using visual spatial processing and those requiring auditory sequential thinking processes. The second is children who are brighter than their IQ scores, who have great ability in visual spatial processing and marked weaknesses in auditory sequential processing. These children are often not identified as gifted and they struggle at school because their intelligence is not recognised and neither is their unique learning style. This paper will concentrate on the second type of gifted visual spatial learner who is “at risk” in the school environment unless their learning style is identified and appropriate modifications are made to learning and teaching practices.

32. Teaching For Inclusion: Diversity In The College Classroom style In order to teach everyone most effectively, a teacher cannot consistently ignore a whole sector of the class simply because their learning styles do not http://ctl.unc.edu/tfi1.html

Written and designed by the staff of the Center for Teaching and Learning. Reproduce with permission only. Chapter 1: Your Diversity, the Academic Culture, and Teaching and Learning Styles Aspects of a teacher's personal identity (such as race, religion, socio-economic background, and learning style) are important as the teacher tries to relate to students and instill in them an interest in a field. Good teachers not only convey a body of knowledge to their students, but they are also aware of how to convey that knowledge by connecting their own experience with their students' experience of the world. For this reason, we have chosen to discuss diversity issues for the teacher before discussing diversity within the classroom. A teacher's learning and teaching styles are one important part of diversity. How such styles match with students' learning styles can play an important part in the success of any course. Diversity Issues for the Instructor Perceived Diversity When we speak of diversity in the classroom, we usually focus on the diversity of the students in the room. We often forget that the teacher also brings a range of diversity issues to the classroom. Every teacher brings his or her physical appearance and culture into the room at the same time as the students do. How you look, how you speak, how you act upon your opinions of the role of academics (and particularly of the class you teach), and the extent to which these differ from the physical, cultural and intellectual backgrounds of your students will have a profound effect on the interactions in your classroom. Thus you need to be aware of possible reactions among the students to your race, gender, age, ethnicity, physical attributes and abilities. Preparing for such reactions will involve not only knowing as much as you can about your students, but also turning the mirror to yourself, and finding out more about your own diversity issues.

Teaching Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligences to Students Many teachers who use learning styles and multiple intelligences in their classrooms wonder how important it is for students to know about these models. Experience has taught us that students who understand the models are better able to understand their own learning profiles, to develop flexibility and adaptability in their thinking, and to set realistic goals about minimizing learning weaknesses and maximizing strengths. In fact, research on the importance of metacognitive thinking supports the notion that instructional approaches that help students reflect on their own learning processes are highly beneficial to their overall learning and tend to stimulate motivation to improve as learners (Brown, 1989; Marzano et al., 1988).

Why Homeschool? Education Styles Back to School Where Do I Start? ... College Bound Why Homeschool? In a nutshell, we homeschool for our children. But let's go a little deeper than that. Those of us who homeschool do so for many different reasons. Some of us feel we can provide a much higher quality of education at home. We may want and desire to teach our children from a Biblical world view. Some of our children do not learn well in a classroom setting, being easily distracted or bored. Many of us desire the close family unit that is possible by keeping our children together throughout the day instead of split up into age-segregated classes. Usually, we desire to keep contact with peer groups to a minimum, allowing our children to become who they are created to be. Finally, there is the recent issue of safety, or lack of it, in schools. We are expected to protect our children as we bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. "In a nutshell: we homeschool for our children."
