3. Students will learn ways in which they can seek help or greater understanding

Materials:
Learning Style Quiz
Emoji print outs
Access to SIA – “The Greatest” music video

Detailed Description of Procedures:


Greet the students. Run a quick check-in with three emoji, raise one at a time and ask the students if
they feel like what they think the emoji represents. Summarize the overall feelings of the class.
Overview the activities for the day. Introduce that we will be discussing learning styles. Ask the class
that they know about learning styles. Clarify as needed. Ask them to write down which learning
style they think best fits how they learn. Play Sia’s music video “The Greatest.” Let them know that
the song reminds me so much of them, because of all of their potential. Ask them whether it was
more important for them to watch, listen or move with the music. Ask them to write it down. Have
them take the Learning Style Quiz. Ask them to write down their results and see if they were
consistent. Ask the students how knowing their learning style could help them in school. Facilitate
this conversation so that the students have a good understanding. Ask the students to get into
groups, and discuss what they could do if they felt like their lesson was not conducive to their
learning style. Then ask them to discuss the strengths and weakness of each style. Emphasize that
one is not better than the others, but some are more conducive to the classroom setting. Summarize
and link student responses to normalize and reiterate learnings.

Plan for Evaluation: How will each of the following be collected?


Process Data: The number of children who participate in the lesson about learning styles; facilitated
by a school counselor, supported by homeroom instructors.
Perception Data: Students will have a better understanding of learning styles and how to identify
them. Students will also problem solve when the lessons they receive may not fit their learning style.
Students will gain a deeper understanding of their own personal styles and how to apply this
knowledge into the future.
Outcome Data: 100% of the students will know what their learning styles are. 70% of the students
will be able to apply this information to their study and classroom habits.

Follow Up: Check in with the instructor, report to them the learning styles of their students. Offer
suggestions on how to be inclusive, especially if there is an overwhelming majority of a learning style
present in the classroom. Visit the student periodically, and see how they are functioning in class.
