In an earlier post I challenged you all to determine your own learning style and discuss why knowledge of how you learn will impact the success of of precepting.
As preceptors we take on the role of educator. In order to be effective in educating new staff or students it is important for us to recognize our own learning differences. This knowledge will increase our awarness of diversity amoung various learners and help us create learning plans that will fit the needs of our invididual oreintees. Learning styles should be identified early on in preceptorship and utilized to mold your teaching methods in an effort to create a meaningful learning expereinces for your preceptee.
Have a great week!

Every time I take one of the learning style quizzes it tells me that I don't have a learning style!
