  2. So who are they and what can they accomplish? We need tools to assess their academic abilities and learning potential. EDTC 3000, PPR

  3. Learning Modalities Learning Modalities is defined as ways that people receive and process information. There are three main modalities: • Visual (learn by seeing or observing). • Auditory (learn by listening). • Kinesthetic/tactile (learn by doing). EDTC 3000, PPR

  4. Activity 1 • Complete a Learning Styles Inventory (LSI). • Carefully study the LSI results for the class. What was the type of learner breakdown for the class? • How should LSI results be used in the classroom? • What effect could learning styles have on a classroom’s day-to-day routines and activities? EDTC 3000, PPR

  5. Learning Styles • Learning Styles are learning modes for people. • There are four types of learning styles: • The Imaginative Learning. • Analytic Learner. • Common Sense Learner. • Dynamic Learner. EDTC 3000, PPR

  6. Imaginative Learner • Perceives information concretely and processes it reflectively. • Learns by listening and sharing with others. • Has difficulty adjusting to traditional methods of instruction. EDTC 3000, PPR

  7. Analytic Learner • Perceives information abstractly and processes it reflectively. • Prefers sequential thinking, needs details, and values what experts (teachers) say. • Performs well in the traditional classroom. EDTC 3000, PPR

  8. Common Sense Learner • Perceives information abstractly and processes it actively. • Pragmatic and refers to hands-on learning • School is sometimes frustrating because there is no immediate, practical, nor hands-on application of information learned. EDTC 3000, PPR

  9. Dynamic Learner • Perceives information concretely and processes it actively. • Enjoys hands-on learning and excited by anything new. • Are risk-takers and become frustrated by linear and sequential learning. • Thrives on open-ended challenges. EDTC 3000, PPR

  10. Multiple Intelligences • Verbal/Linguistic. • Logical/Mathematical. • Visual/Spatial. • Sensual/Kinesthetic. • Musical. • Interpersonal. • Intrapersonal. EDTC 3000, PPR

  11. Activity 2 • Go to http://www.bgfl.org/bgfl/custom/resources_ftp/client_ftp/ks1/ict/multiple_int/questions/choose_lang.cfm and take the on-line multiple intelligence test. • Print out the results. Discuss the overall “multiple intelligences” results of the class. • How can this instrument help the classroom teacher? EDTC 3000, PPR

  12. Ways to Analyze Students Knowing how your students learn and interact with curriculum and each other are among the most important steps towards reaching and teaching them. EDTC 3000, PPR

  13. Before School Begins… • Consult the counselor and ask for student cumulative folders or similar data on your students. • Review prior standardized test scores (TAKS, etc.). • Contact parents during the summer and start communicating expectations, goals, etc. • Refer to any portfolios that might follow the students through their school experience. EDTC 3000, PPR

  14. On the First Day of School… • Have students complete a data information form. • Administer an informal and short skills pretest. • Observe students’ reading, speaking, interaction, and body language. • Have students write about their likes and dislikes (favorite books, hobbies, skills, etc.) • Outline a class profile on each of your classes. EDTC 3000, PPR

  15. Throughout the School Year… • Keep records of student performance. • Monitor student progress. • Communicate with parents. • Speak with other teachers, counselors, principals, support staff. EDTC 3000, PPR
