Learning Styles in Sunday School
Text Outline
Learning Styles
"God has given each of us the ability to do certain
things well."
Romans 12:6a NLT
Multiple Talents = Multiple Ways to Learn
-
There are many ways to learn
-
We all learn in each of those ways
-
We each have some stronger and some weaker
learning styles
-
These styles are not mutually exclusive
-
We can practice a style that is not our strength
to improve it
-
We can weaken a style by ignoring it or having
it squelched
-
These are artificial categories to help us see
ways that personalities differ
Win-Win Situation
-
Helps each student learn
-
Helps reinforce the lesson in different ways
-
Helps develop their weaker styles
-
Helps us prepare the lesson
-
More fun!
