Based on the article and your textbook, please respond to the following question:  • Imagine that senior leadership is displeased with their performance management plan. Lay out a plan for senior leadership to automate this function.

3. Learning Styles
Helping Students Learn by how they learn best!
Why should I teach to the different learning styles?
This approach to learning emphasizes the fact that individuals
perceive and process information in different ways.
The learning styles theory implies that how much individuals
learn has more to do with whether the educational experience is
geared toward their particular style of learning than whether or
not they are “smart.”
Why should I teach to the different learning styles?
In fact, educators should not ask, “Is this student smart?” but
rather “How is this student smart?”
Why should I teach to the different learning styles?
Our culture focuses mostly on linguistic and logical-
mathematical intelligence. We esteem the highly articulate or
logical people of our culture.
We need to place equal attention on individuals who show gifts
in the other intelligences: the artists, architects, musicians,
naturalists, designers, dancers, therapists, entrepreneurs, and
others who add to the world in which we live.
Why should I teach to the different learning styles?
Many of those who have these gifts don’t receive much

4. reinforcement in schools or the workplace. Many of these, in
fact, end up being labeled "learning disabled," "ADHD” or
underachievers, when their unique ways of thinking and
learning aren’t addressed by linguistic or analytical
environments.
Why should I teach to the different learning styles?
The theory of multiple intelligences proposes a transformation
in the way learning occurs. It suggests that learning facilitators
present their information in a wide variety of ways including:
music, cooperative learning, art activities, role play,
multimedia, field trips, inner reflection, and much more .
Why should we teach to the different learning styles?
The theory of multiple intelligences has the attention of many
educators around the country, and schools are using this
philosophy to redesign the way we educate.
Yet, there are thousands of schools still out there that teach in
the same old dull way, through dry lectures, boring worksheets
and textbooks.
How the Learning Styles Theory Impacts Education
Curriculum–Educators must place emphasis on intuition,
feeling, sensing, and imagination, in addition to the traditional
skills of analysis, reason, and sequential problem solving.
How the Learning Styles Theory Impacts Education
Instruction– learning facilitators should design their instruction

5. to connect with as many learning styles as possible, using
combinations of experience, reflection, conceptualization, and
experimentation.
Instructors are encouraged to use a variety of experiential
elements into the classroom, such as music, visuals, movement,
experience, and even talking.
How the Learning Styles Theory Impacts Education
Assessment– learning facilitators should use a variety of
assessments, focusing on the development of “whole brain”
capacity and each of the different learning styles.
Multiple Intelligences
The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by
Dr. Howard Gardner, professor of education. It suggests that the
traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far
too limited. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different
intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential
in children and adults.
Multiple Intelligences
These include:
Linguistic intelligence ("word smart")
Logical-mathematical intelligence ("number/reasoning smart")
Spatial intelligence ("picture smart")
Bodily-Kinesthetic intelligence ("body smart")
Musical intelligence ("music smart")
Interpersonal intelligence ("people smart")
Intrapersonal intelligence ("self smart")
Naturalist intelligence ("nature smart")
