Journal 11

     I am a auditory/kinesthetic/visual learner. If I am able to read through information I can retain it well. If I am taking notes and listening to a lecture, I am sure that I will remember. Seeing is also helpful to me in some situations. It depends on how interested I am in the subject matter also. 

    Reaching parents to help them remember information can be challenging. We have to remember that even as adults, we have our own way of remembering information. There are different ways we can reach parents that may fall into the different categories.

• For visual learners, signs on the door will be sufficient. If they see the sign, they may be able to retain what the sign read.
• For auditory learners, teachers and front office staff can remind parents verbally as they pick up or drop off their children about certain information.
• For kinesthetic learners, a sign sheet can be made stating that after you have read the following, please sign your name or initials in a designated area to confirm that you received the information.

These are a few ways to reach all types of adult learners.
