Quote by Robert Sternberg
In other words, if a teacher only teaches in one way, then they conclude that the kids who can't learn well that way don't have the ability, when, in fact, it may be that the way the teacher's teaching is not a particularly good match to the way those kids learn.
Summary
This quote emphasizes the importance of recognizing that different students have varied learning styles. If a teacher rigidly sticks to one teaching method and assumes that students who struggle with it lack talent or ability, they are overlooking the possibility that the teaching approach might not suit those particular students' learning needs. It emphasizes the need for teachers to be adaptable and open-minded, continuously exploring different strategies to accommodate the diverse ways in which students grasp information.
