WSST Conference 2017

For students to learn they must be able to understand and process ideas on many levels. Integrating the four learning styles and multiple intelligences lets students reinforce their learning in a method that works well for them. Silver, Strong and Perini define and explain the learning styles as follows. These activities allow us to do some differentiation in our classrooms.

P – Mastery Style (Sensing-Thinking)
Sensitivity To: Acts, details, physical actions, steps
Inclination For: Remembering, describing, manipulating, ordering.

A – Understanding Style (Intuitive-Thinking)
Sensitivity To: Patterns, ideas.
Inclination For: Analyzing, testing/proving, examining, connecting

E – Self-Expressive Style (Intuitive-Feeling)
Inclination For: Predicting/speculating, imagining, generating ideas.
Ability To: Develop original solutions, articulate ideas, express and create

I – Interpersonal Style (Sensing-Feeling)
Sensitivity To: experiences.
Inclination For: experiential learning.

We will have a booklet of 14 activities to explore. We will do one cut and paste with the group and make one flip book to organize notes on a topic.
