Module 4 Activity 3 Diversity

Diversity

There is no doubt in my mind that I need to meet the needs of my students regardless of their varying abilities. I am aware that all students are different and they learn differently and it is my job to ensure that the experiences provided for them are meaningful to them.  This reading reminded me of the various ways in which students learn....those who are either active or reflective learners, those who are sensing and intuitive learners, those who are visual and verbal learners and those who are sequential and global learners. Teachers  need to assess the learning needs of their students and provide those experiences that will fit into how they learn.  The old way of assessing students using paper and pencil tests should be used sparingly if used at all since they cater for those students who are mainly visual learners.
