The document discusses inclusive learning styles and experiential learning theory. It outlines three main objectives: 1) identify Kolb's four primary learning styles, 2) develop awareness of one's own learning style and preferences, and 3) identify ways to apply one's own learning style to create inclusive environments that value differences. Kolb's experiential learning theory is also summarized, which was informed by his background in social psychology and seminal book on the topic.
