Students are, after all, just kids. Class bells, grass stains, and basketball practice comprise hours of their day, but don't be fooled into thinking that their flurry of activity equals a laid-back attitude on their part.

Kids (a.k.a. students) have opinions too, as every teacher or parent well knows. These opinions rain down in seemingly incessant variety: opinions on clothes, opinions on food, opinions on rules, and yes, opinions on learning. Teachers are challenged daily with the wide variety and a diverse classroom of students.

Reaching and meeting each student's learning style seems like Mission Impossible, so much so that you can hear the movie theme song playing in your head as you open the classroom door every morning. How in the world, do you ask yourself, can I teach a lesson that appeals to Catherine's hands-on approach, Michael's musical intelligence, and Anna's reading style? Let's not forget Alan, whose learning disabilities cause him not to be able to pay attention to anything. It's like a box of 25 different colors! None are the same; each are unique.

More often then not, teachers pick the learning style of the majority and go with that, because few have time to teach a lesson in five different ways. If the shoe doesn't fit, we still tend to expect the student to wear it. It doesn't have to be that way.

Consider this: teaching to various learning styles is both possible and fun when using curriculum that is designed with multi-sensory learning in mind. Switched-On® from Alpha Omega Publications® empowers students to embrace their unique gifts in learning. Used in Christian schools across the country, Switched-On helps a wide range of students, from those who excel in the typical classroom structure to those with individualized learning needs. It turns challenges into opportunities.

With Switched-On, students can be themselves. In spite of their various backgrounds and diverse learning styles, students can sit in the same classroom to receive guided, self-paced instruction that meets their individual needs. In addition, every Switched-On course can be customized with self-authoring tools to fit teacher goals.

This computing model opens doors for students who have been historically pigeon-holed into a learning paradigm where they do not fit.

Trust us. When the shoe fits, the results are amazing.
