After taking the multiple intelligence tests and acknowledging the significance of different learning styles, how might a teacher reflect on their own teaching strengths and weaknesses to foster a positive learning experience/environment amongst students?

Making sure lesson plans incorporate a variety of learning styles. E.g having students watch a YouTube video with subtitles which caters to visual and auditory learners and then doing a hands on activity to test their knowledge (kinaesthetic learners). A couple of us have observed that majority of students benefit from hands on activities and group work because it engages them with the learning and allows them to connect with others and build ideas off of one another.

How do we adapt multiple intelligences and learning styles to online learning? As educators, how can we embed certain types of teaching/learning techniques (eg. kinesthetic learners where students need to move/learn hands-on) into an online format?

- Having activities that include movement, hands on work and online work in order to make sure students still get the same experience
- Educators can also incorporate different learning strategies into their lessons when they assign students with work by asking them to work on various activities that strengthen their skills
- Educators need to provide students with various options of doing their assigned work regardless of it being online
- We also noticed that for online learning educators would often add activities where students would get up and learn (for example learning the alphabet by writing it with our body/arms)
- Important to get student feedback and understand what works for them

How can we educate/make parents aware about the different learning styles that exist within the classroom?
- send home informational letters explaining different learning styles
- have open communication of what the learning styles are in the classroom (if they are on zoom they will be able to see how those styles are learning)
- provide resources for parents on learning styles to help them understand how their child is learning.

-it's our job to take it upon ourselves to become comfortable with our weaknesses and we can do this through: reaching out to fellow teachers who may be stronger in certain areas and watch/learn from them, take courses, do research, etc. The most important thing is to embrace and accept our weaknesses rather than ignore them because that doesn't help us or our students to grow. It's okay to not be amazing at everything, but it's not okay to give up on trying to learn and grow. This models resilience and confidence to our students and helps them also be comfortable with embracing and then challenging their own weaknesses.

What are strategies we can use to implement all learning styles into our lesson plans?
- provide students with multiple options where students decide how to as to tackle an assignment (essay format, create a video, presentation)
- Including manipulative/group work within the classroom (creating experiments, discussion with peers)
- removing the "time limit" for students to complete assignments. Creating a low-stakes environment where students are focused on creating well thought out content rather than rushing to complete tasks.

How can we educate/make parents aware about the different learning styles that exist within the classroom?
- Create open communication with the parents about what and how the students are learning.
- Create a Google classroom (or information sheet) with information about different learning styles for parents to take a look at on their own time.
- Send home monthly or bi-weekly newsletters with the different learning styles the students are using in the classroom during activities.
- Allow parents to come in (or virtually tour) the classroom set up with different learning styles present

How can we educate/make parents aware about the different learning styles that exist within the classroom?

- Parents can be made aware of different learning styles through social media.
- Creating a social media classroom account (with consent) will allow parents to see what is happening in the classroom.
- This will allow the teacher to show how each learning style is being catered to in the classroom
- When parents are in the loop of what is happening in the classroom, they can strengthen these skills in the home environment.

If we are not comfortable learning something, then how are we expected to teach it to students with confidence?

--> Practice and get more comfortable in the area you are not fully confident in
--> Have open communication with parents of the students
--> Ask other teachers for help and resources that can help you
--> Take part in trainings and workshops

How can we educate/make parents aware about the different learning styles that exist within the classroom?

- during parent teacher interviews, discuss with the parents about the different learning styles
- let parents know about the levels/skills of the students
- familiarize them with the learning space
- send out news letters/resources

What are strategies we can use to implement all learning styles into our lesson plans?
-incorporate multiple elements in our lessons (ex. PowerPoints with videos, group work, hands on activity)
-discussion based lessons so that students can learn off each other and new ideas from peers
-check for understanding: make sure we have addressed all learning styles throughout the lesson
-use variety of resources to enhance the learning experience for the kids
-station based lesson that indirectly caters to all different learning styles
