STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS

  1. Point to the flip chart pages from Activity A and ask “Could some adult learners who don’t have a learning disability also benefit from these best practices?” Tutors should agree that many of the best practices are best practices for both groups.
  2. Ask which items would be good for both groups. Place a check mark or circle the items that tutors mention. The number of check marks or circles should make the point for you.


Becoming aware of other styles and working to strengthen weaker ones can enhance learning by providing a variety of strategies for taking in and processing information.
