Engaging All Learners: Differentiation Strategies for Visual, Auditory, and Tactile Students

This presentation explores effective differentiation strategies to cater to diverse learning styles: visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic. Discover how to engage students by employing varied instructional methods and assessments that meet their unique needs. Visual learners benefit from written materials and appealing visuals, auditory learners thrive through listening and discussing, while tactile/kinesthetic learners engage best through hands-on activities. By incorporating these strategies, you can create a more inclusive and effective learning environment.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Differentiating Can Be Easy Presented by: Irene Runco Brittany Libell Woodland Hills High School

  2. Differentiation is: • Varying instruction and assessment to accommodate differences in learning styles and skill levels.

  3. The 3 Learning Styles

  4. The 3 Learning Styles • Visual • Auditory • Tactile/Kinesthetic

  5. Visual • This is the student who needs to see examples on the board, on the overhead, or within a power point. • This student learns by reading notes. • This student will be able to remember what they have seen.

  6. Auditory • This is the student who needs to hear problems, definitions, and explanations. • This student learns by hearing and paraphrasing information. • This student will be able to remember what they have heard. • These students make use of acronyms.

  7. Tactile/Kinesthetic • This is the student who needs to move or touch during the learning process. • This student learns by taking notes, or using manipulatives in a lesson. • This student will be able to remember what they have written or what they have done. • They frequently doodle while taking notes, or will take a lot of notes. • They will move around as they talk or as they think—they fidget and often need breaks in order to move.

  8. Great, so how do I engage them?

  9. Visual learners • Present written notes and information. • Have the student read from the textbook—they need to read while the auditory will benefit from hearing the text. • When giving hand outs, make them as visually appealing as possible. • Encourage them to use highlighters to color main ideas. • Use of different colors of chalk, marker, etc. is very helpful to them

  10. Activities for Visual Learners

  11. Auditory Learners • Remember: only about 30 % of students are auditory learners, but they will remember 75% of what they hear. • This is the type of student who benefits from hearing other students read out loud. • This student will do better if he/she can do an oral presentation instead of written report. • This student will process information easily if flashcards of different colors for different types are used.

  12. Activities for Auditory Learners Caution: too much noise/ silence can easily distract

  13. Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners • Can remember what they do, what they experience with their hands • Have good motor coordination • Enjoy making and creating • Will take notes to keep busy and on track. • Enjoy using computers • Remember things if they can move around while learning… might pace while trying to review.

  14. Activities for Tactile/Kinesthetic Learners

  15. So now that I’ve taught them, how do I assess what they know? What do you do that works well with various learning styles ? Time to share

  16. Building Your Own Activities • Chinese menu • Chair Hop • Card Sorting • Skills Scavenger Hunt
