Teaching tips & learning objectives

Teaching tips

  • Explain that students can share their current preferences without being assigned a fixed learning type.

  • Use responses to start conversations and offer varied classroom activities.

  • Revisit goals later in the term to discuss changes.

Skills covered

  • Self-reflection — students identify their own preferred learning modes (reading, video, hands-on, explanation) and motivators.

  • Goal-setting — students write a stated goal for the class in the open-response section.

Good to know
