Every student has the capacity to learn. It is up to us, as teachers, to find out which method is most effective with our students. I believe in Multiple Intelligences as the most effective way to reach all students. It is our responsibility to to teach students in a way that suites their learning style and abilities.
I also love multi-sensory, hands-on learning! Long gone are the days where teachers lecture at the front of the class and students work quietly in workbooks independently.
