Knowing my students' learning styles helps me remember that they don't all learn like I do. Whereas I learn well from lecture and note-taking, many of them have different needs. I also encourage my students to take a learning styles inventory so that they understand how they learn and can thereby take a measure of responsibility for their own education.
It keeps all the students involved in the educational process and also the ability to use new learning styles.
Learning the learning style of the students is a workalble productive tool in preparing your lecture. Offering a variety keeps them from being bored and keeps students alert. I find I personal retrain the inforamtion due to offereing different learning style so I benfit as well.
i will think that by nkowing how every student learn we can create faster and better resolts it will make you better instructor and help you to approch a group of student on there own way of learning.

Knowing these styles allows you better prepare to deliver your subject. It will also prepare you for alternate methods for individuals that don't follow the majority of the class or your teaching style.
It forces you as an instructor to become more versatile and well versed in teaching styles that may differ from your default.
You need to vary your delivery to meet all of the learning styles of your students.
I agree knowing the learning style of your students gives the instructor insight to retaining and recalling information
Hi Mark, Thanks for your post to the forum. Although adjusting our delivery to the learning styles of our students takes more time up front, the pay-off is so worthwhile. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career.

You can present your topic in the style that the student will best comprehend the content. You will reach the students and the graders will reflect comprehension of the content.
I have found knowing my students learning styles not only helps me deliver information in different styles, but also helps me communicate with them individually.
By knowing and understanding how your students learn, it will help you to better prepare lessons and delivery methods to ensure the students get the most out of the class.
It helps us as instructor effectively pass on information to our students.

Learning styles are so very important for instructors to be aware of. So many times students are not performing at their maximum potential simply because of the preferred delvery method of an instructor may not match the student's learning style. We as instructors need to be aware of the variety of styles and mix up our delivery methods to the students in the class. It is too easy to get into the pattern of using one method over another, but it is for the betterment of students that we adapt.

Hi Bronzel, Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, the more we know about how are students learn best, the more responsive we can be as teachers.

It makes it so that you can shape your teaching days into days in which all students can understand the material in one way or another without needed to have to repeat the material for students who didn't understand the first time around. Powerpoint, models, discussions, writing on the white board and talking all in the same class session has helped me to better convey the material.
By knowing the learning styles of your students you can make better class plans and lessons. This knowledge can be use to create the perfect learning environment.
Hi Tameka, Thanks for your post to the forum. Yes, knowing the learning styles of our students is like having a map to guide our instruction. Best wishes for continued success in your teaching career.
