Using Cognitive Styles
Captions available
The idea
Teachers use cognitive styles in two ways: building on a student's strengths, and coaching balance so the student can also work in the opposite style when a task demands it.
In practice
A teacher lets an impulsive student brainstorm freely, then teaches her to check each answer.
Where people slip
Coaching balance widens a student's range rather than fixing a label.
