What's your learning style?

Each of us has a preferred way of learning. You may learn best visually, by listening, by reading and writing, or by doing.

This way of thinking about learning preferences is known as VARK:

• Visual images – you prefer learning material in a pictorial or graphic format

• Aural messages or the spoken word – you like to listen to lectures and discuss your work

• Reading and making notes – you learn best through reading and writing

• Kinaesthetic or active learning – you prefer to learn through practical activities

Some learners may show a strong preference for one of these ways of learning, while others use a combination of learning styles.

Have you thought about the learning styles of your students?

I was reminded just how important learning styles and learning preferences when working with students who have ASD . Using students strengths and preferences to support new learning.  All students deserve access to the best learning opportunities.
