Teaching Styles

Somehow I feel like I've kind of lost my identity. I've had so much Brain Based Learning shoved down my throat that I'm really no longer sure where I've come from.

Brain based learning explains why people need the different styles and why some of them work and some don't. This was so loved by one of our superintendents that every teacher in the district owns a copy of Teaching with the Brain in Mind. Then we had study groups on the readings. I didn't go.

As Jody said in her blog we often answer the questions about learning styles with comments about "except when." Overall we really do have tendencies, there will always be exceptions. That's what makes them rules.
