After completing the readings and surveys, I am still very much the same type of teacher as when I started. I prefer analysis to rote learning but do not focus on practical applications. I teach fourth grade gifted/talented students and I love that I can teach in this realm. My students don't do well with rote anything. I have to be creative in my teaching and thrive on challenging them every day. Also according to the survey, I prefer to have students learn through hands-on activities completed collaboratively. My students work in groups daily and learn through project based learning (PBL). We are always learning through hands-on, group work, and focused on a project to learn the math and science needed for the TEKS being taught.

I gave the Learning Style Inventory to my students and already knew how each of them would score because of the time of year I administered it. They are a collaboration of all types but mostly visual learners. I teach to all types of learners in my classroom in order to meet all of their goals. I shared this with my principal and we are going to give it to our students at the beginning of the year. This is a great tool to have to help plan lessons for your class and allow them to be successful in their learning. Teaching math and science is definitely an easy way for me to reach all types of learners easier than teaching something like social studies or reading.
