The learning styles of these students all connect in different ways (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). Some of the students that the learning style inventory was administered to learn by being social and others learn by performing the task (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). As an educator, I know that students all learn in different ways and at different paces (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). I find it very important to be sure whatever the way there must be choices for students given by the educator.

              My feeling is that it is so important to get to know your students once students are identified and understood then it is easier to teach them as a teacher.

              All the different learning styles relate to one another due to one style complimenting the other learning style (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). When a child is lacking in language, but has a lot of cognitive knowledge it is important to keep in mind that the child just may need to be exposed to more language (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). Also, if a child is making all their milestones and is healthy physically but is lacking in social emotional skill then this child may need to work on their social skills (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). When a child is not self-regulating, then this child may need to work on their social emotional skills by working with a student that has mastered their language and social emotional skill (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). It is important for teachers to keep in mind that all learning styles are interconnected.

              A learning style would affect my planning by using my results to create lessons that need to be created for student improvement (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019)( Spurlock, 2023). The instructional strategy that I would use to present the group is create a versatile lesson filled with visuals, auditory learning, and learning through dance and song to address all learning styles (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023).

              A student’s strengths and interests would be evaluated by observing the student for a six-week period( Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). It is good practice to observe and view your students for the six-week time frame (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). The teacher would evaluate the student by working with the student during small, large group, or intervention groups to understand what is influencing the student. The lesson is what is the driving force to understand and create for students (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). The lesson allows teachers to see what appropriate learning is for students for future use.

              The way that strengths, interests, and needs will be used for instruction is by creating lessons that coincide with students’ strengths, interests, and needs (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023).

              It is  important for teachers to create instruction that is best for all student learners. For example, if a student has a great interest in math and shows great strength as well as interest in collage materials then I would create an assignment that involves art and math (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). I would use ask students to count and glue the collage materials to fill the need of a math lesson.

              The way all learning styles would be addressed when implementing and developing assessments for students is to create assessments that work best for students (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). As a teacher, I would plan to create an assignment that tailors to the learning need of each student. Learning styles address a variety of learning fields (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023).

              Different assessments would be created in a way that appeals to the learner that is taking the assessment (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). The learners include kinesthetic, auditory, or visual learners. Therefore, the assessment would work in a way that was appropriate for this different type of learner (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023). For example, if a learner learns best in an auditory and visual fashion then the assessment can be administered on a computer. While the assessment is being administered by the computer, the assessment can be shown and read to them by the computer (Lucariello, 2016), (Murawski, 2019), (Spurlock, 2023).

              Learning styles focus on what students need so it is crucial that teachers allow learning styles to drive the lesson and instruction in the classroom.
