Teaching requires the instruction of others, which can often be challenging. To be successful, a teacher must properly communicate their lessons to every student to the best of their ability. From the reading, I learned about the "communication cycle" and how significant it is in the classroom. I found learning styles within the "communication cycle" to be the most important.
Everyone has their own way of learning different types of information. Some people are visual learners, while others my auditory or kinesthetic learners. Identifying this information in your classroom will allow you to make lesson plans that apply to your classroom. For example, a student is a visual learner and acquires information best when they have a visual aid in front of them. With that information known, you can integrate visual elements into your lesson plan. Everyone has their own preferences as to how they receive information (the best way to their knowledge). As educators, the goal is to meet the needs of ever student by acknowledging a child's learning patterns and identifying th learning style that works best for them. We will be able to do this in the future by understanding the different types of learning styles and how to represent them in our lesson plans.
Acknowledging different types of learning styles is a crucial to being a great teacher. By identifying the different learning styles in your classroom, you are ensuring that each student is able to learn at an equal standard. This idea refers to the "No Child Left Behind" policy.
