Learning Styles and Golay's Approach

OUR GOAL: Student Centered Teaching!

Knowing a student’s personality type enables you to understand and predict behavior most of the time. As we grow in our understanding of our students' personalities, we have the opportunity grow in our ability to teach to their preferences for learning.

Keith Golay offers some helpful suggestions for how to look at the student as a “total personality.” I suggest ordering his book, Learning Patterns and Temperament Styles, but as an introduction, the article at the following link provides a brief overview: “Introducing the Animal Kingdom, It’s a Jungle Out There.” (See Link to the Right: "It's a Jungle out There")

Have fun exploring your students’ learning styles!
