Go to the i3 + C3 wiki i3c3.pbworks.com
2.
Think about what kind of learner you are: visual,
auditory, or kinesthetic.
3.
Take a dot from your table and post it to the board
under the “Pre” column for how you think you learn
best.
Red=Visual
Green = Auditory
Yellow=Kinesthetic
 Identify
your particular learning style
 Understanding your particular learning
style and how to best meet the needs of
student with that learning style.
 Recognizing student behaviors in the
learning environment
 How to provide opportunities for students
to select and use the most effective
learning style as they are working and
learning.

Did you know…
Grades K-2 are primarily taught kinesthetically
Grades 3-6 are primarily taught visually

Statistics reveal that most high
school dropouts are kinesthetic
learners.
 80% of prison inmates are high
school dropouts. - Northwest Regional
Educational Laboratory (NWREL)
 The Parent Project (a research-based
parenting program) reports that 80% of
the prison population are kinesthetic
learners

But, What are Learning Styles?
Your modality indicates what
you need to be able to:
•Concentrate
•Learn
•Process
•File Information
STUDENT OUTCOMES: You will learn more
easily and with greater success once you
have unlocked your learning style and
discovered the best methods for helping you
learn. You may be surprised to discover just
how well you can flourish in the classroom,
even in subjects that you previously found
difficult!
Visual Learners
 Typically learn through what they
are able to see with their own eyes.
 These students jockey for the
positions at the front of the class,
must have front row theater seats
and love to be right up front for
sporting events in order to obtain
the best view.

could “show what I know” based on what
you’ve just learned about VISUAL LEARNERS.
 DO/Using any materials (located in the
center of your table), create something
VISUAL that symbolizes what you’ve just
learned.
Auditory Learners
 Auditory learners are very good
listeners.
 They tend to absorb information in a
more efficient manner through
sounds, music, discussions,
teachings, etc.
 These individuals will be more likely
to record lectures so that they can
replay them at a later time for study
purposes.

Kinesthetic Learners
 Kinesthetic learners are
tactile learners.
 They learn best through
moving, doing, acting out
and touching.
 Projects that are hands-on
in nature are best for
kinesthetic learners.
