INTASC Principle 3
The teacher
understands how students differ in their approaches to learning
and creates instructional opportunities that are adapted to
diverse learners.
“It is the supreme art of the teacher to awake
joy in creative expression and knowledge.”
Albert Einstein
As a junior in high school I was in a class that catered
directly to my learning style. Because of this I did very well in this
class. However, it was very hard for me to understand why some of my
peers were doing so poorly . It was at this point in my education that
I realized that everyone has different styles for learning. Because
of this experience I am passionate about making sure that the classes I teach
cater to all of the learning styles.
Those various learning styles add such a variety to the
classroom and make it possible to have much more creative and enriching lessons.
Why stick to the traditional lecture, notes, and a quiz when you can spice
it up with a game, an experiment, or a discussion?
By varying the style of presentation more students are
going to succeed which will in turn build up confidence for the next lesson
students face. They also learn that all students learn differently and
that that is okay which later translates into the importance of diversity
in life.
