Distance Learning – Education Created Around Your Child’s Learning Style
One of the limitations of traditional schooling is the classroom setting. Most traditional school classrooms are run by one teacher who has a particular teaching style. Good teachers try to vary their teaching styles and try to incorporate as many different learning styles as they can into their daily lessons. But often, students who have particular learning styles can be left out in a traditional school classroom and can be frustrated by an inability to engage in the learning process.
Discovering your child’s particular learning style might take some time, but after some assessment and observation, you will discover much about the way your child learns. Most children fall into learning categories. Auditory learners will respond well to oral instructions and will learn well in classes where the teacher gives information orally. These students learn best by listening and talking. Visual learners prefer written instructions and are best able to recall something if they’ve seen it written down. These learners will learn by watching, so video presentations are a good way to match their preferences. Tactile learners learn best through touching so manipulatives are an important teaching tool for them. They learn best through drawing and creating, using projects like dioramas and models. Kinesthetic learners also learn best through touching, but they also need to involve their whole body in the learning process. They remember material if they act it out. Global learners are intuitive and apt to be spontaneous. They like information to be given in a lively and entertaining manner and they get bored easily. Global learners learn best with attractive materials and they work well in groups.

Teaching Preschool – Patience, Expectations, and Fun
“Not While I’m Wearing the Hat”
Teaching preschool is never a walk in the park. One moment you’re trying to sooth a crying child while tearing apart two others who are fighting over the last black pipe cleaner for their art project. For this reason, teaching preschool requires a never-ending supply of patience balanced with enough authority to get the kids to listen.
One great way to keep from being interrupted when teaching preschool is to use a visual focal point to remind the children not to speak, such as a hat. Unless children are bleeding, they cannot speak while the teacher is wearing the hat, even to ask a question.
