Finding Out How Your Brain Learns
Knowing how you learn is beneficial to know how your brain works and how to help
yourself learn more and improve. While taking the two assessments, I had trouble answering
some questions because for me, some of the questions could have different situations where my
answer would be different than what I put. I was torn between some of the answers so I chose the
answer that would be the most general. After I was done taking the assessments I agreed with the
majority of the information given. Finding out the best way for you to learn is crucial
information to succeed and improve yourself further in the future.
When becoming a teacher, learning about the best way for you to learn can help you
understand how each student learns in your classroom. You can also use this information in your
classes in college when becoming a teacher because you know the best way for you to learn,
apply, and improve the information you have learned. You can also help your students figure out
how they learn in the classroom. You could have them take these tests or figure it out as the year
goes on. One of my teachers last year had us take one of these tests on one of the first weeks of
school because she wanted to know how people learned and how she can help everyone learn her
material in the most beneficial way. After taking the “Find Your Strengths” assessment my top
intelligence was social. When answering these questions, I was torn because it really did depend
on the situation at hand but when I thought more about it, being a teacher is really all about being
social with your students and coworkers. That is one quality I will take with me when going into
Schnormeier 2
a classroom. When learning about your students, knowing how they learn is an aspect of
teaching that every teacher should consider.
Teachers learn more about their students every day including the best way each one of
them learns. When you enter a classroom as a first year teacher you haven’t experienced each
type of learning alone and head on. Knowing how you learn could benefit figuring about your
students learning styles which would benefit you and them. When you know how each student
can learn, you as a teacher can improve how you teach by offering different ways to do an
assignment such as; different ways of taking notes, different types of ways to show an
understanding, or different ways of improving one’s grade on a subject that they didn’t
completely understand. When becoming a teacher, you don’t know how each kid learns until
later in the year or if they take one of the learning style tests. On the assessment of finding your
strengths my top three were; social (interpersonal), self (intrapersonal), and nature (naturalist).
Taking the social strength into the classroom will be beneficial to my students because I will be
able to communicate with them well and take into consideration new ideas of doing an
assignment. Bringing my intrapersonal, or self, strength into the classroom will affect my
students in a positive way because I will be able to hold myself accountable to make their school
year enjoyable and I will be able to reflect on a way of teaching something so that all my
students understand. Taking my natural strength into the classroom will be beneficial to my
students because I will be able to learn more about the world around me and teach more about
the natural world. Being a teacher is about learning from your students every day and I think my
strengths will help me do that.
Addressing each student with a different learning styles and multiple intelligences is
going to be one of the hardest tasks of being a teacher. When you are a teacher you have to adapt
Schnormeier 3
each year because your job changes. You get new kids every year so you need to get to know
different kids and different learning styles each year. When you address it in your classroom, you
need to take into consideration that all kids learn differently even if two kids have the same
intelligence, they could learn through that intelligence differently. I will address it like one of my
teachers did last year, give different ways of doing one assignment so that every student can
show how they have learned something in the most beneficial way. This idea also gives you a
wide variety of projects to grade so that they all aren’t the same. You can also get your students
learning while on the move through activities outside or brain breaks throughout the day. In 8th
grade my class took a trip to a river to do water testing and I learned a lot through getting my
hands dirty and learning about the environment while being there physically. Teaching different
types of learners can also benefit you as a teacher to step out of your comfort zone to try a
different type of project or assignment.
In the future I do think that I will have my students take these tests because if they know
how their brain learns then that can benefit them in my classroom and if I know how each of my
students learn, then I can help them learn the material and better themselves. I also think that
when taking this test you find out a lot about yourself which is always a good skill to have.
Learning more about yourself and applying that to your learning, can benefit how much you can
improve your brain power.
Finding out the best way for you to learn is crucial information to succeed and better
yourself further in the future. After learning more about myself through these assessments, I have
come to realize how I learn best and how I can use that in the future. Before taking the
assessments I had a pretty good idea of how I learn but now I know the most efficient way for
Schnormeier 4
my brain to compromise a big idea with little details so that I can use that information in the
future when studying for a big test or doing a big project.
