Sending "Learning Styles" out of Style

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Sending "Learning Styles" out of Style instructional video also includes:
  • Introduction: Good Thinking!
  • Professional Development Discussion Guide
  • Join to access all included materials

What the research says about learning styles may be different than you think. A quick video gives an overview of the research to show how teaching to a pupil's learning style isn't necessarily an effective strategy. Use the video as a springboard to spark discussion among colleagues about why learning styles are important or not so important.
