Learning Style Profiles
Cambridge offers schools the Learning Style Profile, developed by NASSP,
to identify the dominant, stylistic characteristics of students in order
to personalize and plan the instructional process. Students who
understand their learning styles and who exercise active control over
their cognitive skills do better in school.
The Learning Style Profile will
result in students who:
- are better adjusted
- have positive attitudes towards learning
- achieve at higher levels
The information gained from the Learning Style
Assessment Reports allows principals and teachers to create a
more effective and caring environment for educating a diverse student body.
Educators are provided with a well-validated diagnostic instrument, which can
aid them in building a curriculum that reaches the widest range of students.
The Learning Style Assessments Reports also help educators
to accurately diagnose cognitive styles, perceptual response tendencies, and
instructional preferences, thus helping educators choose the best teaching style
for their students.

The Learning Style Profile Assessment Report gives educators a well-validated
diagnostic instrument, which can aid them in building a curriculum
that reaches the widest range of students. These reports also help
educators to accurately diagnose cognitive styles, perceptual response
tendencies, and instructional preferences, thus helping educators
choose the best teaching style for their students. Learning Style
Profiles can be administered as early as the 5th grade. This is especially
crucial with "special needs" students. |

Once you have identified the learning style of your students through
the Learning Style Profile Test and Assessment Report, utilize the
Learning Style Manual to implement real change in the classroom and
across the curriculum. The manual includes exercises to augment a
student's analytic, spatial, discrimination, categorization, sequential
processing, simultaneous processing, and memory skills, as well as
a student's verbal-spatial preference. The manual also includes a
special section on perceptual response, study, and instructional preferences. |
