Strategies for teaching the learner / Learning environment needed to be successful

It is important that teachers garner the individual strengths of children or students. They need to play
and adhere to these individual strengths to boost success.

Reflection:
● How has your perception of diverse learners grown/changed from your perspective as a student?
I know that book smarts aren’t the only thing that define individual strength. There are other measures of
intelligence that does not rely on one’s Intelligence Quotient.
 ● What does this mean for you as a future teacher?
As a future teacher, it is important to adapt to the multiple intelligences of individual learners. Teachers will
strive if they are able to turn a lesson plan for each of the types of learning.
