The student who does well in the traditional classroom may not do as well in hands on environment. And conversely the student who does well with hands on may not do well in the traditional written word learning. I have a graduate who stumbled through the lecture and written work aspect of my classes. She later told me she reads poorly and is having trouble keeping up with her 4th grader. She did very well in the lab aspect of my classes. And her personal attitude and demeanor was of a caring, gentle person. She passed but always felt as if she needed to work a little harder than her classmates and her self-esteem suffered. She is employed and is a great team member!! How could I build the confidence of learner who is a tactile person?
