Chapter Summary: Each student has their own learning style. As teachers we must be perceptive to the means of which each student gains knowledge. If we implement only one teaching style, it won't be successful for everyone. Trying different approaches to teach a simple, difficult, or even familiar concept can often provide the student a new perspective, and fuel their ignition to learn. When we fail to address the different learning types, we fail to build the students' confidence. This burden of failure acts as an albatross, bleeding into their everyday lives. We must be willing and ready to try a broad range of teaching techniques in order to promote a safe environment to learn or fail. Teachers must have a solid balance of discipline, logic, encouragement, passion, and tenderness in their teaching.
Key Terms:
Key Concepts: Perceptiveness in teaching will positively affect your students' ability to gain knowledge, confidence, and effort.
Making Connections: In my teaching I want to incorporate many approaches. I think it would be a good idea to perhaps incorporate all the senses. Many senses are more prominent because they are linked to specific emotions, such as smell. Since we learned in the Talent Code that emotions can provide deep connections, I think it could be an interesting experiment.
