This activity focuses on the importance of understanding learning styles for career and technical education (CTE). Students will explore how their unique learning preferences can influence their education and career choices. By identifying their learning styles, they can determine effective study techniques and appropriate career paths. Utilizing Howard Gardner’s Seven Learning Styles—Verbal, Mathematical, Visual, Bodily, Musical, Interpersonal, and Intrapersonal—students will engage in group discussions and complete assignments tailored to their strengths. This foundational knowledge aims to give students a significant edge in their future endeavors.
