7th period ISM
ISM Project Introduction and Purpose Paper
For my ISM project, I am studying the various learning styles in the middle school environment. The main purpose of my
research is to document the different learning styles and which ones seem to be more effective with the majority group of students and if there are particular children who seem to learn faster with these learning styles. I usually visit my mentor twice a week to observe the learning behaviors of her students.
My name is Brittany Roller; I’m a senior and a PAL 2. What I noticed last year was that each of my PALees leaned differently so I wanted to expand my knowledge on the learning styles present in today’s education system. My mentor is Staci Weber, a teacher at Creekside Intermediate. I chose to shadow an 8th grade English teacher because I thought that would be a good subject to see all the learning styles active in. My mentor used to be my teacher and I remember her being able to adjust her teaching based on the individual student’s learning style.
My project’s product will be a lesson plan covering all of the learning styles’ needs. This covers all the learning styles I am researching. There will be an auditory section; hands on section and a visual section to help the students better understand the knowledge being taught.
I hope that I will gain a stronger knowledge of the various learning styles during my time in the ISM program in case I want to go into teaching as a career. I hope to be able to pass on my knowledge to other teachers for them to understand that they might have to adapt their teaching styles to better educate the students.
