LEARNING STYLES
Bright children typically have a different “learning
style” than other students. They
-
learn faster
-
need less repetition
-
are more intuitive – can figure
out many things on their own
-
are big picture oriented –
appreciate seeing the forest as well as the
trees
-
have a higher motivation for
learning and for achievement
They need a corresponding teaching style. Indeed,
an opposing teaching style focusing on rote learning
with lots of repetition can be harmful to them. See
discussion of risks and
teachers of the
gifted.
