About Me
SUBJECTS
EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY
I believe in using various methods to ensure learning, such as Visual, Auditory, and kinesthetic methods. Visual learning for students who generally learn better with visual aids. I also learn better with visual learning including, graphs, lines, relevant pictures. Auditory learning involves students who are not able to just view a picture or read a sentence, but really learn best when an audible voice enforces relevant material. Auditory methods are often paired with visual learning to ensure learning.
The last method is kinesthetic learning. This method exists for students who need practical experiences that they may become involved to aid in learning. This could exist within role-play, working problems, hands-on examples to enforce learning and retention. All 3 of these examples can be used to ensure learning. Learning is based on individual needs that must be assessed.
