The article also provides an example of how leadership is important in the classroom when it comes to teaching styles. This year I taught 85 students who were all various types of learners. Each class period I would alter my teaching style to fit the needs of my kids. Second period and fourth period were hands-on learners who thrived when they were able to get up and move around the room, i.e. stations. Third and Fifth periods were students who preferred the hands-off method. I could give them instructions and they would be efficiently working for the rest of the class period. First and seventh period required lessons to be spread out over two days. For these students to retain information, they needed repetition. 

 Before reading this article I hadn't thought of adjusting teaching styles as a leadership quality. I enjoyed reading the provided example of the student who struggled with English because he was in an upper level class where the teacher assumed he was a hands-off learner. Unfortunately situations like this occur often because we assume one student is similar to the rest. Understanding the way your students retain information and learn are key to creating a successful classroom.
