Each student currently in the recreation program is required to take an introductory course early on in their educational career. If the students are evaluated at this point to identify their individual style, the faculty members will have that information for the rest of their time spent at SDSU. This information will be used by faculty to suit the classes to the students, and to gain a better understanding on what the students need from them. By tailoring the classes to the students, we are allowing them more opportunities to excel both in the classroom and out of the classroom after graduation because they will be able to retain more information from the classes.
Step 1--Assess and identify students
Step 2 -- Recognize and adopt learning styles in the classroom (Next Step)
Step 3 -- Inform students about individual styles
All 8 of the intelligences can be present in the classroom. All must be given the same attention, or valued at the same level for all students to receive the same benefit in the classroom.
