Learning about your Learners
Many of the issues kids face regarding school– like, not wanting to go to school, hating math, failing history— comes from a disconnect in learning. Overall, classrooms are taught in two ways: with words (teacher in the front of the classroom teaching and students listening/taking notes) or through exact answers (math problems and a, b, or c answer choices). However, those two methods are not the only two ways that students are wired to learn. In this workshop, I teach on the multiple intelligence theory (Gardner, 1983), which introduces eight variations to learning and being.
