The Power of Diversity: New Ways of Learning and Teaching Through Learning Styles

Everyone has a unique style of learning, thinking and working. Very few people, however, learn or work in a way which is best for them and the way their brain works. The Power of Diversity has been written to help people discover their preferred way of learning and, in turn, to help them and their children succeed at school.;Barbara Prashnig has now worked for over 12 years as an educator and trainer, introducing her pioneering concept of learning and working styles into educational institutions and businesses throughout New Zealand and around the world. Based on her extensive professional experience, the author presents in this book her tried and tested findings and offers new ways of catering for the great diversity in students, helping teachers and parents alike.;Designed as an easy-to-read workbook, it introduces the concept of learning styles and explains the importance these styles play in the still ongoing learning revolution in education, business and parenting. There are also examples from schools in various countries that have adopted Barbara's work, and the results of their efforts to incorporate diverse learning strategies are discussed.;The unique 'suggestopedic' layout, with narrower columns of text for speed reading, and the left-hand page graphics, thoughts and exercises to make the reader aware of their own learning styles, make this book both fun to read and useful. The Power of Diversity has become a 'must read' for parents, teachers, trainers and anyone who is interested in human development and learning. Copyright © Network Educational.…
