Hi Jeffrey – interesting post! I think you must have seen Stephen Brookfield’s work on assumption hunting? http://nlu.nl.edu/academics/cas/ace/facultypapers/StephenBrookfield_Wisdom.cfm

Two thoughts have occurred to me in reading your post.

First is – that students’ different learning styles/preferences means that we as teachers are ‘obliged'(?) to try different approaches, even those that don’t sit naturally with our own learning styles, in order to have a better chance of ‘reaching’ all the different students at least some of the time.

Second – is this a discussion you could have with your students?

Looking forward to reading more about how you get on.
