SHOW SUMMARY:
Do you meet all of your students’ needs by teaching to each learning style? Maybe you make sure there is an audio recording of your content for the auditory learners or provide plenty of pictures for your visual students. Perhaps you even add some active components for those kinesthetic learners. What if I told you that learning styles are a lie? Turns out, there is no evidence that learning styles are a real thing. Tune in to this episode to hear the “why” and find out how to effectively teach your students without all the learning style fuss.
