Deliver training to suit varying learning stylesSimon Misiewicz
Optimise-GB provides you with a presentation on how to create and deliver training materials that caters for various learning styles. Not one of us are identical in the way that we learn, however, there are some training sessions that follow a similar. There is a teacher at the front who talks, and students that sit and listen. How effective is this? Have you ever seen people switch off whilst you are in a training environment? Is it because they are bored of the material or bored of how the training is being delivered? This presentations provides some suggestions of how people’s learning styles can be catered for in different ways of delivering training materials. If you have any questions on simon@optimise-gb.com and visit www.optimise-gb.com for more details. Many thanks Simon Misiewicz
Have you ever studied with a friend, but then your friend did better on the test? Have you ever sat through a lesson plan in class, and even though you tried to pay attention, you didn’t remember as much as your friend did? Not everyone learns the same way. The way you studied or the way the lesson was taught might be right for your friend, but not for you. And if you studied a different way, you may find the learning process easier. This workshop will give you the tools to effectively identify you learning style and apply it towards improving your study skills. Facilitated by Kelly Miller, Academic Advisor and Career Counselor.
Have you ever studied with a friend, but then your friend did much better on the test? Have you ever sat through a lesson plan in class, and even though you tried to pay attention, you didn\'t remember as much as your friend did? Not everyone learns the same way.

Active learning is a form of learning in which teaching strives to involve students in the learning process more directly than in other methods
The term active learning "was introduced by the English scholar R W Revans (1907–2003).
Active learning is a process whereby students engage in activities, such as reading, writing, discussion, or problem solving that promote analysis, synthesis, and evaluation of class content.
Many people recognize that each person prefers different learning styles and techniques. Learning styles group common ways that people learn. Everyone has a mix of learning styles. Some people may find that they have a dominant style of learning, with far less use of the other styles.

Reading Wednesday
Strategies for students with Learning Disabilities
By: Gale Stanford and Paula Webber
Often students with learning disabilities struggle with reading in the content areas. The best way a teacher can support a struggling reader is to give them opportunities to read and provide them support as they read new content which is often filled with unfamiliar vocabulary and concepts.
Our middle school students were struggling with the new science curriculum, so we decided to give the students and their teachers support by compiling a list of reading strategies they could use within their classrooms.
It is important to pair students carefully when you want them to read together. Our students have learned that new content does not have to be difficult when they apply strategies with a friend.
Below is a list of strategies, their purpose and description of each. They were designed for the 7th and 8th grade science courses at middle school level.
Each Wednesday, students read science lessons and focus on vocabulary development and the use of the vocabulary in speaking, listening, reading and writing activities. These strategies could be used in any core classroom.
STRATEGY
PURPOSE
DESCRIPTION
SQ3R
An approach to studying and reading to improve comprehension and retention
Have students to scan passage, formulate questions to be answered, read, recite what they have read, and then review.
K-W-L
Strategy used to introduce a topic
"Know, Want to know, Learn" Students identify what they know about a topic, what they want to know, and after reading or instruction, identify what they learned or would still like to learn
Reciprocal Teaching
To encourage student-student learning
Students take turns being the teacher for a pair or small group. Teacher role may be to clarify, ask questions, ask for predictions, etc
Think Aloud
To encourage critical thinking and oral reading
Teacher or student describes own thoughts while reading aloud to class.
Read and Respond
Assesses student response to what they have read
Read a passage to the student or have them read it by themselves or in a group.
Have the student respond to the story in a number of creative ways. They can communicate by drawing, recording in the journal, or by use of diagrams and mapping about what they heard or read and how they felt about it. Have the student report to a partner, a small group or to the whole class about their responses.
Graphic Organizer
Visual frameworks to help the learner make connections between concepts
Graphic organizers are used before learning and help remind the learner of what they already know about a subject; are designed to be used during learning to act as cues to what to look for in the structure of the resources or information; are used during review activities and help to remind students of the number and variety of components they should be remembering.
Chalk Talk
To check for understanding
A silent activity where no one may talk. T ...
You probably know if it’s hard for your learners to learn by listening,
But if they get their bodied up and moving around, things click instantly.
Or maybe they love listening to audiobooks,
But nothing seems to make sense to them when they sit down to read a paper book.
What you are describing when you talk about your learners in this way is their learning style.

Learning preferences : How learners learn better?
Learning preferences are all about how your learners study and learn in better ways that reflect their interests and likes. Learners learn in different ways and have a style or a preference to help them acquire new skills , knowledge and remember things.
Some teachers prefer the concept preference to learning styles so as not to classify a learner and impose a particular learning style. What suits one learner might not suit another? For example, if a group of people are learning videos, some like listening and dramatization the teacher acts. Others want to stand up and move performing the movements at the same time as watching the teacher perform them.
Talking about the best learners learn respecting their preferences and needs is like someone in real life situation where he or she may buy a laptop or smart TV , do you get straight in and start using it, do you read the instructions first, or do you call or ask for competent person to show you what to do (or do you use the internet to watch a video on YouTube)?
That is a real life example of someone’s learning style or preference for learning.
Teachers first primary concern is how to make things easier for their learners and audience – The may opt for a particular methodology that they see it suit them or for a specific diversity while delivering their content, but this might not suit their learners.
For example, if teachers prefer to listening to a lecture they certainly feel more comfortable lecturing their learners.
That’s why teachers have to find out what their learners’ preferences are, then they can adapt the delivery content that to suits them.
There are so many different ways of ascertaining preferences, some systems might contradict others or even be misunderstood. Some people are in favour of them, whereas others aren't. The current thinking is that there is no valid research to justify their use. However, you need to make your own decision on whether using the results of learning styles' tests for differentiation will work for your learners. You will also need to check whether the organisation you work for advocates their use or not.
Most people don't fit into one style or preference, I recommend using a variety of teaching and learning approaches to help learning to take place. Your learners might instinctively know what works best for them rather than having it determined for them. For example, they might prefer practical activities rather than reading or writing. This might have been developed from previous courses they have attended. Rather than this being their learning preference, you could think of it as their teaching preference. You could ask your learners which teaching preference they prefer and then adapt your sessions accordingly.
3. 3 Learning Styles Visual Learn best from… viewing both visually and in a written format visually gathering and comprehending information blackboard or an overhead projector How you study best… textbook information and class notes color coding – highlighters, colored pens Flashcards, diagrams, illustrations & printouts Not study groups
4. 3 Learning Styles Tactile/Kinesthetic Learn best when… Participating in “hands-on” activities Actively touching, manipulating, arranging, acting, showing, and experimenting Not lectures How you study best… Incorporate action into it Walking, biking etc
5. 3 Learning Styles Auditory/Verbal Learn best when… Information is given in an oral format Preference for listening, understanding spoken directions, logic that is explained verbally Lectures and group discussions Listening to audio tape How you study best… Study with friends Read information out loud
6. 3 Learning Styles Which of these is your learning style? What about your children? Visual Tactile/Kinesthetic Auditory/Verbal

20. 3 Learning Styles Why is it important to identify your students learning style? Current classroom may not utilize all three learning styles Learning style may be the cause for learning gaps Result can be frustration and eroding confidence Students may not be studying with their learning style in mind
21. 3 Learning Styles How do we incorporate learning style into our programs? Current performance is assessed Missing building blocks are identified Learning style is determined A one on one program is designed Existing homework is support Missing foundation is rebuilt An effective study skills strategy is developed
Thank you for the opportunity to visit with you this morning!My name is…. And I’m the local owner of Tutor Doctor I’d like to take 10 minutes of your time to share with you the importance of understanding how students learn differently and how this is such an important factor in their academic success.Before we get started could I ask each of you to share your name and your role in the group
There are three learning styles that represent how most people learnVisualTactile/KinestheticAuditoryEach student has a dominant learning style.Two students may process the very same information very differently depending on how its presentedAteacher depending on their learning style may spend more time focused in one or more learning styles. Imagine you’re a tactile learning and the course is taught by reading from a book for 30 minutes each day. Imagine what a challenge it is for a teacher to balance teaching styles to meet the personal learning style of 26 kids + and growing
Taking a closer look at each of the three learning styles:Raise your hand if you didn’t make every lecture in college but still managed to get good grades? You probably didn’t need to hear the lecture you read the text books.The Visual learning style learns the best from:Viewing information both visually and in a written format. It works best for a VLwhen a teacher uses the blackboard or an overhead projector. If the most important parts of a lecture are put into a bulletin format or used in an outline, a visual learner will find it much easier to follow along. Textbook information and class notes will be a great way for a VL to study and when trying to retain information or remember something, a VL can "see" it or picture it in their mind. If you are a visual learner think about how important taking good notes might be!Of the four learning styles, the VL will want to use color coding to help them retain information from books or notes. Summarizing important information from your notes or textbook using a Highlighter or colored pens is a great way for the VL to absorb information. A VL might also try flashcards, diagrams, illustrations and print-outs to aid in studying.
The second learning styles is tactile/kinesthetic.Raise your hand if your favorite class was science labs, woodshop or PE?This learner enjoys "hands on" activities in the classroom. Actively touching, manipulating, arranging, acting, showing, and experimenting with various physical approaches by experiencing first-handAny type of lab setting or field work will help this type of learner to understand the information given. Instructor's that provide their students with demonstrations, presentations or student learning experiences will be helping the tactile/kinesthetic person learn. Lectures might be hard for this person to sit through, and that's why it's important for them to sit in the front and take notes. Spelling shouldn't be a concern when you're writing notes and you should write down important words you here or draw pictures to depict them. When you're studying, try incorporating action into it- read when you're on the exercise bike or walking back and forth while reciting information.
The last of the three learning styles is auditory/verbalRaise your hand if you did your best when you attended every lecture and studied for tests with other friends or in a study group?The auditory/verbal learner works best when information is given to them in an oral formatTheir preference is listening, understanding spoken directions and following logic that is explained verbally.Lectures and group discussions work wellListening to audio tape information is a good idea too. To study more efficiently, you might want to join a study group or find a person to work with every day for a few hours on certain material. Read information out loud and tape record if possible.
Let’s have some fun with a short quiz!Complete this quiz by selecting the statements you agree with
Now let’s self evaluate.
So in closing “why is it important to identify your students learning style?Their current classroom may not utilize all three learning stylesDepending on their style a teacher may spend more time in verbal than kinesthetic. If your child is a tactile learning which many kids today are they may not pick up on important pieces of foundational learning.Learning GAPs may exist simply because the teacher spent more time in the student’s least dominant styleHave you ever witnessed your child throw up their arms and say I can’t do that. I had no idea what the teacher was talking about. Once a student understands their learning style they can study in a manner that supports it. Visual learners most effective studying is done with textbook information and class notes color coding – highlighters, colored pensFlashcards, diagrams, illustrations & printoutsVerbal Learners study best withStudy with friends Read information out loudTactile Learners study most effectively byIncorporating action into itWalking, biking etc
How do we incorporate learning style into our programs?The first step in our process is to identify current performance.This can be accomplished by an assessment we conduct or by reviewing existing work from schoolMissing building blocks are identifiedIf a student is struggling with division, what is their proficiency with multiplicationAfter working with a student for one or two sessions their learning style is determinedOur tutors design their session plans based on each student’s learning styleOur first goal is to support each child’s existing homework. With students who are behind missing foundation can make homework very frustrating which over time erodes confidence. Many times students spend 2-3 times longer completing homework than they shouldWhile supporting existing homework we rebuild Missing foundation Lastly, we work with many students who take the time to study but don’t do well on tests. Often its because they are not studying in a manner that is consistent with their learning style. Our tutors work with each student to develop a study skills strategy that works for them.
