I believe that teachers need to not only teach to the students different learning styles in
their classroom, and also include all students in activities. Teachers need to stop teaching at
student and learn how to relay the information in a way that they will all be able to understand.
My belief is that catering to the students learning in the classroom and making them all feel
included, participation will increase and students will continue to come to class enthused and
ready to learn.
The use of including my students is an extreme importance because throughout the year it
allows me to assess my students from the beginning of the school year, as well as allows me to
learn how each student works. For an example, if I find out that there are 3 different groups of
students that all function the same way I could make groups that allows them to work with others
that learn the same as them. For this I would set up different stations in the classroom that
explained the lesson, (i.e. hands on, visual, and verbal), and at the end of class students can
choose a station. By using this method I would instruct students to write a reflection so that I
could assess how it is improving their overall ability in the classroom environment.
Through the use of instructing my students through different ideas that appeal to them,
Im allowed to connect with students, improve their learning abilities, and make all students feel
welcome and included. I know that this is the best way to not only handle my classroom, but also
