Helping Our Faculty Teach Across Learning Styles

As Faculty Coaches in the CEE Faculty Development Program, we know that the program coursework is based on a multitude of competencies in teaching methodologies, instructional techniques, active learning and presentation, classroom management, student retention and adult learning styles (to name a few). Speaking of competencies, I ran across the following bullet points from a PPT presentation that highlighted some suggestions for teaching across learning styles and thought you might wish to share them with instructors:

  • Provide opportunities for listening, reading, observing and doing 
  • Vary presentation, application and text assignments utilizing current technologies
  • Supplement lecture with visuals
  • Use student learning groups
  • Utilize examples and storytelling
  • Provide summary handouts 
  • Allow tape recordings
  • Encourage movement in the class and lab
  • Allow for individual work - though team assignments are excellent, students still need the opportunity to work independently
  • Utilize peer teaching
  • Encourage students to highlight while reading

Though these are just a few ideas, our instructors, as delivery experts, hopefully provide students many opportunities to hear, see, say, think and do in the course of a lesson.
