Misconception Number 2: One size fits all

This misconception has everyone thinking that all students learn the same. Therefore there is no need to change anything.

I think teachers believe this misconception because their lesson worked well for one group of students so it should and will work well for another group. There is no need to reinvent the wheel if something worked, but over time that wheel might need to be replaced.

I identified with this misconception because I have seen it in my own personal experience. I had a teacher who only taught her lessons one way, a way that made it hard for me to learn. I also went through my first year of teaching with coworkers who told me to figure it out on my own like they did. Every student and person learn things in their own way. I learn visually and hands on, but just telling me how to do something, I feel lost and alone. I struggle to make sense of what I need to know so I then spend hours of wasted time playing around with the content or software until I get what I am doing and I have done it right.

I can help reverse others way of thinking when it comes to this misconception by showing them how hard it can be for a student to learn the way the teacher is teaching. I can set up a simulation that gives the teachers a different point of view and then I can help them create a lesson plan that works well for all.

How can someone who is shorter than the average person ride an average size bike? It is unfair to have them acquire the tools they need in order to make the bike fit them. Everyone deserves to have the individual needs met.

There are many learning styles. This is why we cannot create a lesson plan that we feel fits all students when it really only fits one or two.

Learning Styles & Multiple Intelligences: Theory Integration

# data[].attributes.body
A teaching strategy that I would use is to identify the learning styles that your students have. Once those have been identified, it is easy to build a lesson plan around them. Many learning styles are already in a typical lesson plan, but there are those that might need some extra planning. To identify the learning styles of your students, give them a little quiz. This quiz can be translated into their native language so that all students are given a fair test.

Here are my results. I am a visual learner. A teacher who lectures the entire class time is not the teacher for me. I need the teacher who will visually put things up on the board and have us move around when we learn a new concept or just to activate our background knowledge. Not only does this quiz tell me what type of learner I am, but it tells me how I can optimize my learning needs. A teacher can look at those tips and plan a lesson fit for all of her students.

Are you in school now? Maybe you have a child in school? Or you are a working professional trying to pick up a new skill to advance in your career?

Do some topics come more easily to you than others? Until now you probably thought it had to do with the topic itself, but we have found that in almost all cases that is not true. The difference is how we are taught. If you learn better by doing ( kinesthetic) then you need to do something or use a skill to learn it. If your learning style is more visual then you may do better from video courses. Maybe audio books are the best option for if you are auditory.

How about your personality? Did you know that your personality type also has a large effect on how you learn? An extrovert will do better in a group setting, while the introvert generally learns better by themselves. Some people learn better under with clear goals, while others learn better in when they feel emotionally vested in the outcome.
