This document discusses learning styles and principles for educators to consider when teaching diverse students. It explains that students have different backgrounds, experiences, cultures and personalities that influence their learning styles. As educators, we should act as facilitators and catalysts for learning by creating circumstances where learning occurs at a faster rate. Learning styles refer to a student's preferred method of thinking and processing information. However, most educators present material in a way that is effective for only 10% of students. The document also outlines four steps in the learning process (desire to learn, receiving information, processing information, and repetition), as well as multiple intelligences and tips for identifying students' preferred intelligence and developing lessons to engage different learning styles.
