"Solid Truths" about Learners and Learning
- Learners learn best when they are challenged but not overwhelmed or bored when they are met at their learning level.
- Learners learn fastest when they are learning in multi ways in more than one of their preferred learning styles.
- Learners learn best when they are interested in the content that is being used to facilitate their learning.
- Learners learn best when they find the content relevant to their lives and the lives of their parents.
