Wind-Wolf was an Indian 5 year old in kindergarten. His teacher assumed that he was a slow learner because Wing-Wolf was not learning what was being taught in class at the same rate as his classmates. The teacher tried to use the same methods of teaching he used with the rest of the class which was not the way Wind-Wolf was taught. The teacher should have tried different methods of teaching such as, verbal, logical, spatial, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, intrapersonal, or naturalist intelligence to find a better way to teach Wind-Wolf. Wind-Wolf’s father mentioned that Wind-Wolf learned to count with objects.…
In Chapter Four of Holler If You Hear Me by Gregory Michie, the author describes how some of the other veteran teachers in his education classes expressed their views on the disconnect between education theory and classroom reality. One such example of this disconnect is the theory of differentiated instruction. I have learned a lot about differentiated instruction in my Foundations Block classes this semester, since I had not previously heard of the concept. In theory, this practice is a great way to tailor instruction to each student’s individual needs, as well as encourage learning and exploration.…

My parents have always challenged me to strive to do my best since I was a child. From pushing me to learn how to ride a bike at age five, to striving me to achieve a higher ACT score to attend the college I love, I learned how to become very independent and credible. As I approached my high school years, I changed mentally by creating a positive mindset after my freshman year. As to this day, getting a 3.11-grade point average has affected me in both positive and negative ways. One characteristic that I figured out about myself is that I am a person who learns from mistakes due to the fact that I am a tactile learner.…
Therefore, my teacher explained to me I was a kinesthetic learning I have a sense of feeling of it and seeing it visually instead of it just being auditory. I can use my learning style in college because when I am unsure of what the professor may ask, I may ask her to draw a picture when explaining. Most professors, I know are visual learners, thus most of their lessons are all in PowerPoint or they use the Smart Board when teaching. Overall, the professors at Broward College are very understanding. They recognize that every student learns a different and I really appreciate the different learning styles…
Olivia Gude author of the article “Principles of Possibility” talks about a successful art curriculum that teaches important skills and concepts in art education. According to the author, the principle of possibilities is a curriculum that provides students with important experiences where each student is able to remember learning activities that are fun and significant.

In the spiral workshop, the author emphasizes that students enhance the principle of playing by interacting and looking at images from ink blocks.…
Motor control is how our neuromuscular system functions to activate and coordinate the muscles and limbs involved in performing a motor skill. Motor learning emphasizes the acquisition of motor skills, the performance enhancement of learned or highly experienced motor skills or the re-acquisition of skills that are difficult to perform or cannot be performed because of injury or disease. Motor learning is practiced in many ways. The patient may learn how to work on small parts of a goal before they attempt the goal. The therapist will also use mental and verbal practice to assist the patient with recognizing the components and the requirements of the task.…
When reading Daniel Coyle’s The Talent Code: Greatness Isn’t Born. Its Grown. Here’s How, the ideas and theories addressed throughout these two chapters have really changed the way I have looked at how I have been taking class. These chapters discussed the theory of myelin and deep practices and how those affect the way in which our brain learns certain things. In dance, at least for many of us, we have spent a long period of our lives redefining our technique.…
Jean Piaget, a Swiss psychologist and genetic epistemologist, is one of the most widely known cognitivist; he studied how children think as well as the nature of intelligence. According to (Cherry, Jean Piaget Biography (1896-1980), 2016), “Prior to Piaget’s theory, children were often thought of simply as mini-adults. Instead, Piaget suggested that the way children think is fundamentally different from the way that adults think.” “Piaget was the first psychologist to make a systematics study of cognitive development” (McLeod, 2015). But, what is cognitive development?…
Kinesthetic learning is learning through experience from the application of your senses. I apply the kinesthetic learning style when it is available, such as labs for science, or on the job training. For myself this is the learning style where I can comprehend and understand the most as I will more likely be able to remember the experience. While the aural learning style is available to be used widely, kinesthetic learning is less broad. As a narrower field, it cannot always be practical to some things such as reading, or…
Children’s individual development variations include their learning styles. The focus is on that not every child learns the same way. In a Developmentally Appropriate classroom, the teacher provides many different ways for students to learn such as hands-on, singing a song, drawing a picture or even acting something act. This helps to make sure that every learning style is touched…
The psychomotor domain will include the development of any type of movement; this is the “doing” domain. There is also a hierarchy in this domain it consists of four stages: action or elementary movement, coordination which is ones synchronized movement, formation otherwise described as an individuals bodily movements and lastly the production stage that combines the development of verbal and nonverbal movement. This domain is important to the cognitive learning process and is connected to the cognitive student that learns through movement and performance. (Merritt,…
