WHAT KIND OF LEARNER AM I ?


Ms. Narsiman and Mr. Whiting worked with you today to help you establish your learning profile. Consider what they have written below and then write a reflection on your blog post of you as a learner.

Have you ever struggled in class, feeling the need to move, or simply change seats that so that you could listen better with your left ear or view the whiteboard from a different angle?

The amazing characteristic about understanding your Learner Profile is that it will help you and your teachers know more about the best learning situations for each student; that is your strengths, your preferences and areas that we all can work on and improve.

Reflect on your Learning Profiles, and now that you have a better understanding of your profile, write and share the information on your blog.

In a well structured response, (using the information you gained in class ) please reflect upon and answer the following ....

1. I learn best when......

2. I need to .....

3. The strategies that would help me in my learning....

4. I would like my teachers to know this about me.....

Enjoy
Mrs. N and Mr. Whiting.
