Due to the diversity of the students we teach as educators, we need to examine what we hold as required and uniform and what we can adapt for each individual learner. Students each have their own unique heritage and culture through which they learn the habits which they will use to accomplish tasks they are given. When we don’t take this into account and teach each student the same, we put many students at a disadvantage. In order to understand for themselves how they learn, students need to take an inventory and figure out how they know, think, decide, and act. As teachers, we must take an inventory of the different types of learners that are in our classrooms and take as many opportunities as possible to teach them in that ways that are most beneficial to them.
I feel that this article definitely highlights the importance of understanding the needs of each different learner. When teachers can successfully teach to the different styles students are better able to learn and succeed academically throughout school. Teachers are also given the opportunity to give each student the tools they need to become unique individuals through learning diversity. As students become comfortable in their learning styles they grow as a unique individual in a diverse world. Through this acknowledgment of diverse learning styles, students will grow to appreciate the differences they see around them and the peers around them.
