Power of Diversity: New Ways of Learning and Teaching Through Learning StylesAt its simplest Barbara Prashnig's message is disarmingly clear: · Every one of us has a learning style, thinking style and working style as unique as our fingerprints. · Parents and schools can now easily identify individual learning styles. · It is imperative for schools, parents and organizations to cater to those individual differences. · Unless this happens, millions more will be wrongly classed as school failures because their learning style is not suited to their school's teaching style. A fascinating introduction to the concept of learning style and the part they play in every area of our lives. Designed as an easy to read workbook with checklists and exercises to give the reader insight into their own unique learning preferences. This book is great for anyone interested in improving their success academically, in business, sport or in relationships at work or home. |
