Did you also know… Statistics reveal that most high

school dropouts are kinesthetic learners.  

80% of prison inmates are high school dropouts. - Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory (NWREL)

The Parent Project (a research-based parenting program) reports that 80% of the prison population are kinesthetic learners

Your modality indicates what you need to be able to:•Concentrate•Learn•Process •File Information

But, What are Learning Styles?

STUDENT OUTCOMES: You will learn more easily and with greater success once you have unlocked your learning style and discovered the best methods for helping you learn. You may be surprised to discover just how well you can flourish in the classroom, even in subjects that you previously found difficult!

Typically learn through what they are able to see with their own eyes.

These students jockey for the positions at the front of the class, must have front row theater seats and love to be right up front for sporting events in order to obtain the best view.

Visual Learners

DO/Using any materials (located in the center of your table), create something VISUAL that symbolizes what you’ve just learned.

Auditory learners are very good listeners.

They tend to absorb information in a more efficient manner through sounds, music, discussions, teachings, etc.

These individuals will be more likely to record lectures so that they can replay them at a later time for study purposes.
