When students are taught something in their "preferred" learning method do they understand it right away?

I know that children are constantly learning even if we as teachers realize it or not. Children learn best by asking questions. Children can have multiple learning styles.

I know that every student has different needs and that there is no perfect way to meet all these needs. A teachers job is to do their best to cover these needs and recognize those who need more.

I want to know how to create plans that engage all learning styles and types, covering tactile learning along with visual and auditory. More than anything how to do it without going overboard.

I know that students are more eager and motivated to learn when you can relate new information to their own lives and experiences.

I know that each student has its own unique way of learning style that is preferred.  I know that students bring previous knowledge to the classroom, but that they may all be at different knowledge bases.  I know each student comes to class with different home, social and emotional baggage.

After having completed the module I feel I have a better understanding of the accommodations students need. As adults we often forget that we have mountains of information that our students may not. We need to stop this assumption that they know the definitions of all the words in the text. We need to stop assuming that just because they did science last year means they know what a beaker or a test tube is. Of course we must also acknowledge that students still bring a fountain on knowledge with them, they know much more than we do about technology, they understand that math has multiple solutions and that the world has many sides. It is a matter of recognizing this knowledge and running with it, if they don't know this, what is the closest thing they do know and lets build from there. How we build from there is also important, we may not agree completely with Vygotsky or Piaget but they provide us a beginning understanding of how our students are learning and processing.

Something that I learned from this module was scaffolding is so important. Start with something that the children know and offer them support as they build prior knowledge. This way children have confidence learning new topics. Another thing that I took away from this module was the importance of sentence framing. It gives students a good spring board and helps direct them to tell you the information you are looking for.

I know that all students have different wants and needs in a school environment. Their learning style will never be the same as their peers. They all come from different home environments and these environments can greatly impact the way they learn in school.

I want to know what tools and strategies teachers are able use to find a whole class of students different learning styles and how they incorporate it into their teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
I know that students are continuously learning, and they all learn in many different ways. There are many factors that make them who they are and also how they learn. I also know that students love when the teacher implements their likes to their learning.

I want to know how to apply different teaching styles in one lesson so that all the different types of learners can learn.

From module 2, I have learned how important culturally responsive teaching is. In order to get students more engaged in the classroom and to feel in control of their education, we need to relate their lives and experiences into the environment and instruction. Having diverse learning materials enables students to see themselves in meaningful ways.

I learned about cultural responsive teaching. I knew about it but this module gave me more of a clear understanding of what it is plus more. Culturally responsive teaching is a pedagogy that recognizes the importance of including students' cultural references in all of their aspects in learning. Culturally relevant teaching. I can not wait to teach culturally responsive so that all of my students know that they are valued. I look forward to making my class very diverse friendly!

I know that there is no "one size fits all" strategy for teaching students. Each one has a different learning style of their own and it takes patience and a teacher who is willing to learn about their students to find ways to help them best.

# data[].attributes.body
I want to know strategies for getting to know the students as much as possible before initiating formal instruction. Also, how can I accommodate each student in their learning without taking away from others?

# data[].attributes.body
I have learned that utilizing the scaffolding strategy of tapping into a student's prior knowledge of a topic is beneficial in getting to know the group. This helps the teacher build relationships with the students and find ways to connect the content to their lives and experiences. This connects back to culturally responsive teaching in that it considers the students' backgrounds and validates who they are and where they come from. This all helps to make them feel like they matter to the classroom as individuals which in return helps them feel motivated and encouraged to participate and learn. Getting to know the students is key when trying to understand how they learn and what the teacher can do to meet their needs.

# data[].attributes.body
I know that students all learn differently. One student may find a lesson super easy while another student struggles and then this could be flipped for another topic. As an educator it is important to keep these students in mind when planning lessons to ensure success from all types of learners.

How am I able to ensure all students have an opportunity to learn in the way thats best for them when I may be on a time crunch?

I have learned that children feel extremely happy when they feel like they are represented in the classroom. This can be in terms of the funds of knowledge when there are diverse examples being used. This can also be used by asking more questions about students and getting to know their interests better. By keeping students' lives relevant to the classroom, engagement and performance will go up across the entire class.

I know that the learning process is characteristic of environments and activities that prompt and support critical thinking and reflection. This helps learners develop a higher order of thinking skills used for life-long learning.

I want to know how I can incorporate meaningful experiences into my tight schedule?

I learned that students who are taught Academic Language will be better prepared to acquire new knowledge through reading and listening. They can then express this knowledge and their ideas orally and through writing. It is important for teachers to consider which words to explicitly teach as well as their level of utility. But, I have also learned that no formula exists for selecting age-appropriate vocabulary words. This is because there is no basis for determining which words students should be learning at different grade levels. Every student reads at their own level.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned how important it is to include a variety of cultures in my classroom. It helps to keep the students feeling more involved in the classroom. I also "remembered" because I knew this ,but just forgot until I read it again that learning content needs to be related to the students lives. It makes it easier for them to be engaged and to remember the content that is being taught.

I know that there are different Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligence. Each of which help support students.

I know that each student learns differently, but are their strategies to support each of my students when I may have 35 students in a class?

What I have learned were different strategies to each of my students. This includes my EL student. I love what culturally responsive teaching bring to the table. I learn how to best engage and support my EL students. Scaffolding was a reminder for me to feed information in small bits. The highlight of the model for me was the video of Language Lady because I work with EL students and sometimes they have a hard time putting their thoughts on paper. I am also interested in buying the game, "What would you do?", because I think i would really help students with writing.

I know that children learn in many way. Through observations, meaning looking at the people, animals or anything in their environment and learning by observing them. Through example, meaning when they are explicitly are taught by an adult to learn something new. By experience, meaning when children try something for themselves or experience a new situation, they can learn from the experience or the attempt at something new.

I want to learn if there are students that learn best with kinesthetically and with visuals, is it ok to develop instruction with lesson plans that are  made of mostly kinesthetic and visual activities?

The one thing I learned that I feel is most important to me is selecting tier one, tier two and tier three vocabulary words from a text. I think it is super important to select vocabulary words from a text and exposed them to the students before the selected text is read. Doing this will increase the student's ability to read the text with more fluidly, will increase comprehension and considered ELL needs. I believe literacy development is essential and it helps in all the elements of all academic subjects. Increasing the vocabulary bank of students will only empower their learning and allow the teacher to create more engaging lesson plans and/or activities.
