How does your student learn?
Students often times get referred to their school counselor if they are struggling academically. There are a number of different reasons students struggle in school. Sometimes it stems from their lack of understanding about how they learn in relation to how a teacher teaches. Other times it is due to their struggle with processing and retaining information in certain subjects. To help with this, counselors try to help students understand their strengths through the Theory of Multiple Intelligences. To help a student understand their dominant intelligence(s) as well as those they need to improve upon, they can take this short Multiple Intelligences Quiz. In addition to understanding what their strengths are, understanding how they learn via a Learning Styles Inventory is helpful. Whether a student is an auditory, visual or kinesthetic learner it is important for them to know how they learn best as well as how their instructor tends to teach. For example if a student is a visual learner and their teacher mainly lectures (auditory) it may be helpful for them to use tools like Khan Academy or YouTube to watch a video on the concept so they can retain it better!
