“ Learning is about the joy of discovery and mastery of meeting challenges. Learning is the gift of self-determination, a gift for your mind, body, and spirit… the gift you need to make your dreams happen”.
Jacqueline Shiff

Identifying your child’s preferred learning style will help you develop an educational understanding that is the most effective for your child.

Experts have identified three basic learning styles:
>>Auditory learners grasp by talking, have things explained orally and may have trouble understanding written instructions. These learners may talk to themselves when learning something new.
>>Visual learners easily remember visual details and prefer to see what they are learning. They prefer to write down instructions and may have trouble following lecturers.
>>Kinesthetic or tactile learners prefer activities that allow them to do what they are learning about. Tactile learners like to touch things in order to learn about them and like to move around when talking or listening.

Education has become a global affair and therefore it is imperative to keep informed with change. As educators, it is our duty to identify and understand the needs of each and every learner in the classroom. Understanding the needs of individual learners guide the educators towards a more productive and satisfactory teaching and learning experience for the child.

The main task of educators is to encourage learners to operate to their fullest potential. Educators play a leading role in the implementation of individualized teaching and learning programmes that will enable learners to strive towards academic excellence.
At Chrisland, we as educators make a special effort to keep in touch with the changing world. We continuously investigate and implement new and different way and methods of teaching and learning to ensure quality education in our school.
Relatively a young school, Chrisland High School already has proven to be a leader and winner in its field.
