Hispanic/Latino Learning Style Focus:

 * //**Interpersonal**//
 * //**Hands-on (bodily-kinesthetic)**//

Cultural Implications:

 * strong familial relations ("This strong sense of other-directedness conflicts with the United States' mainstream emphasis on individualism")
 * "Indeed, Hispanic culture's emphasis on cooperation in the attainment of goals can result in Hispanic students' discomfort with this nation's conventional classroom competition."

=Resulting Strategies:=


 * cooperative classroom
 * collaborative assignments/projects/assessments - work together
 * hands-on problem solving/experiential techniques

- have students watch blabber/youtube vids describing from first person perspectives - have students discuss in groups what they think the learning styles, struggles, and potential strategies would be for educating Hispanic/Latino students - have visual ready: discuss as a class the group findings - as things are mentioned, students will contribute it to the "visual" - could use a wallwish thing.//
