Uniqueness and Online Learning
As each person that God has created is unique, there is a certain uniqueness associated with how a person learns. There are three types of learning styles: visual, auditory, and tactile/kinesthetic.
Some students need to be shown what to do (working best with pictures and diagrams) while other students may learn best by hearing material (such as hearing the story of the Underground Railroad). Another group of students may not learn something until they can manipulate it with their own hands (putting together a model airplane to understand its architecture). Do you have any idea what type of learning style suits you best?
It is important to know what kind learner you are so that you can help your homeschooler when s/he has questions. This information is valuable when it is compared to the type of learner that your student is. You can be of best service to your child when you understand how he/she understands information. Always keep in mind that the way you explain information may not be the best way to reach your child. You want to make every effort to understand the way your child processes information and what you can do to make sure it is expressed in that way.
The Southern Baptist Academy is conducive to any learning style because it gives you and your student the freedom to take the provided curriculum in any direction that you need it to go. If your homeschooler needs to see information, s/he will find it convenient that we incorporate these elements in our curriculum. In addition, you can take it upon yourself to use supplemental materials to make his/her learning experience as full as it can be. Working with your student will be the key to finding the most appropriate delivery style.
We incorporate all learning styles into our delivery of content to your homeschooler. We allow you the opportunity to tailor it to fit your unique student’s needs. There should never be a time that your student doesn’t understand material because it is not being presented correctly. Always know that The Southern Baptist Academy staff is here to assist you as you make our special online curriculum yours!
