Learning Styles Teacher Training Resources
Awareness of how people learn differently is the first step for Bible teachers, so it's helpful to learn about the various learning styles. However, we must go beyond simply knowing about how different students best learn to structuring to accommodate these differences.
Teachers have a learning style that will become their default mode in the way they teach if they aren't careful. They must remember that many of the students in their class could learn best using a different approach due to the way they think and their sensory preferences.
The six-page My Style - Their Style Worksheet reminds teachers that students learn best using their own styles of learning, not the teacher's. They must therefore guard against teaching in ways that utilize only or primarily their own learning style, yet without parking themselves at the door when they teach.
