Description

The lesson I taught focused on Learning Styles and Time Management, an essential topic for first-year students adjusting to the academic and personal independence of college life. Many new students struggle with balancing coursework, responsibilities, and stress, often because they have not yet developed effective study strategies or structured planning habits. My lesson introduced the VARK learning styles model, Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, and Kinesthetic, to help students understand how they learn best and how aligning study methods with learning styles improves productivity and academic performance. Through interactive activities such as a study habits warm-up and a weekly time-mapping exercise, students reflected on their current habits and created personalized strategies for success. The goal of the lesson was to equip students with practical tools to reduce procrastination, increase confidence, and manage their time more efficiently as they transition into college.
