When I think back to my education, one class sticks out. In high school I had a teacher who by default made me realize all about the different learning styles that we have. When he would teach it was in such a unique way that all other students teased him but there was a method behind the madness. During each class period we had a video, a lecture, readings, and some other method thrown in for good measure. Though the kids made fun of him, I know that they all learned something from him too. Throughout my teaching, I have remembered this one class. I make it a point to teach in as many styles as I can to reach all students one way or other. I am very glad to read the "teaching to learning styles" because it is a great reminder to all of us on how we teach and those students we may lose along the way with no fault to their own. In my classes I try to not only touch on those styles but bring it full circle to address why it is important and bring that personal experience in so that the students can also relate. The students make me a better teacher!
