By understanding learning patterns you will understand yourself. Are you the one…

Who wants to do the

research?

Who wants to work alone?

Who insists on a plan?

Who’s wants to get his/her hands dirty?

Who is playing a different

tune?Who is organizing everything?

What are your patterns?

Page 14: Lml intro new teachers

SequenceI want: Clear, step-by-step directions To go over and over directions To see a sample Time to develop a plan

Page 15: Lml intro new teachers

What you see…ListsBullets, checks, asterisksClarity of directionsLooking to someone for

feedbackNeat copy or work productSymmetry

Page 16: Lml intro new teachers

What you hear…

“What am I supposed to do?”

“What do I do next?”“Could I see an example?”“Wait a minute! Don’t go

to the next one yet.”

Page 17: Lml intro new teachers

I’ve been thinking about a couple of things that we might do while you are here and I wanted to run them by you all to see what you think! I also don’t want to plan you to death, so let me know if you all want to do is sleep in and be beach bums all week – I can do that too: Option #1 – A trip to Waterside Park, (It’s only a 5 minute ride, but I thought the girls might like to get out on the water and plus it is only 50 cents!) Once we get to Portsmouth, we can walk to the Children’s Museum – a hand-on, non-stuffy museum with a cool dinosaur exhibit there now. I thought then we could have lunch at Portside – an outside eating place with tons of choices, and then take the ferry back to Norfolk. Option #2 – A day at Mount Trashmore- feeding ducks, flying kites, playing in the playground…a neat place built by local school kids. I thought a picnic there might be fun too. Option #3 – A day (maybe two?) at the beach. If the girls are scared of the waves, we could go to the bay side instead. If you have an umbrella or beach chairs, bring them along. We only have two chairs and one small umbrella to cover us.

PrecisionI want: A lot of detailed information Time to see that my work is correct To look up additional information To ask a lot of questions

Page 20: Lml intro new teachers

What you see… Labels Non-fiction books or magazines A lot of specific words Use of new or more complex

vocabulary Correcting others Quotation marks or underlining

words

Page 21: Lml intro new teachers

What you hear… “Is this right? What’s the answer?”“Where can I find the

answer?” “Well, actually…” “Wait a minute. I’m still

writing.”

Page 22: Lml intro new teachers
Page 23: Lml intro new teachers
Page 24: Lml intro new teachers

TechnicalI want: To be left alone while working To build things to show my skills To learn from real world

experiences To do projects instead of paper and

pencil assignments

Page 25: Lml intro new teachers

What you see… Basic drawings in black and

white Working alone Mulling Manipulating objects Taking objects apart Illustrations in place of words

Page 26: Lml intro new teachers

What you hear… “When am I ever going to use

this?” “I can do this myself!” “Its my work? I’ll do it on my

own time.” No words, just actions

Page 27: Lml intro new teachers
Page 28: Lml intro new teachers
Page 29: Lml intro new teachers

ConfluenceI want: to get started and ask for directions

later. to do assignments in a unique way. encouragement for new ideas. to take risks with new ideas.

Page 30: Lml intro new teachers

What you see… Excitement of sharing an idea or

story Doodling Use of different voices when reading Wide range of color on illustrations Fiction books or magazines Various interpretations of the

directions

Page 31: Lml intro new teachers

What you hear…“Who will care if I do it

differently?”“I’ve got another idea!”“I have lots of things started

but not much finished!” “I love the word, ‘imagine!’”This is fun!

Confluence 19SequenceI am a person who loves directions. I want to know what is expected. I thrive on doing things in order. I seek organization, although sometimes it looks like a mess. I like consistency and dependability. I plan then act.PrecisionI use this as needed. I like trivia. I challenge statements that I doubt. I like people to share information with me. I read to have information to develop my plan.TechnicalI do not like to work by myself. I do not care about how things work. I avoid using instruments or tools. I rely on directions to lead me to the solution. I get frustrated because I can not figure things out.ConfluenceI will take calculated risks. I connect things. I can see the big picture. I do not like surprises or changes that are unexpected. I have ideas.

Learner

Who wants to do the

research?

Who wants to work alone?

Who insists on a plan?
