Teaching Massage Webinar Series
Learning Styles with Whitney Lowe
In the new textbook Teaching Massage: Fundamental Principles in Adult Education for Massage Program Instructors, Whitney Lowe, noted author and educator writes, "The term learning style has become an educational buzzword these days. The term's popularity has come about as educators look for unifying theories or ideas to explain the diversity of outcomes between students who are in the same classroom." Whitney will join Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP) in a webinar for massage schools and instructors that looks at learning style models and how to apply them practically in the massage classroom.
This webinar will:
Define the term learning style.
Examine the VAK model of learning styles and the Dunn and Dunn model of learning styles.
Provide practical suggestions for using learning style models in the classroom.
