Labels: Personality Tests and Learning Styles

What is the science behind personality tests and do they have a place in education? What about learning styles? Do they help children learn?

Have you ever been asked to take a personality test for a job? How have you seen these tests used in the classroom? What about Learning Styles? Are you a visual, auditory, reading/writing, or kinesthetic learner? How does using a curriculum that focuses on a student’s learning style affect their learning? What is the evidence behind these systems? For purposes of discussion, you may want to take this short personality test before the workshop. Score how accurate you think it was and bring this score and your results to the workshop.

Learn how to teach Nature Journaling! Join our weekly discussion and idea-sharing for teachers, home school parents, and other educators interested in teaching nature journaling skills. Each meeting will have a theme. Most of the conversation that day will revolve around this core idea but expect interesting side routes and trails.

All ages and experience levels are welcome. No registration is necessary. If you are new to Zoom or are having trouble with the meeting controls, please see these notes and suggestions on Zoom Tips for Online Classes with John Muir Laws to help you get more out of the online workshop. When possible I will also make a recording of the workshop and post it on my blog. I look forward to seeing you there!

NOTE: Start time is 12 PM Pacific, 1 PM Mountain, 2 PM Central, 3 PM Eastern Time
