2)Learning Characteristics
Which student learning characteristics should teachers identify before developing instruction? Why is this important?
Below are some listed on the page but how you get them is not!
It's important because not everyone has the same frame of reference for learning. Some people remeber numbers better, some cultures emphasize social learning more, as well as grade level is important. I've found some psychology testing that narrows down assestment about "who am I" and "what are my strenghts and weaknesses"-
