Every child’s personality and
learning styles are unique—from how they process information to what subjects
they like best in school. When children understand their learning style and
educational goals, it’s far easier to obtain success in the classroom and in
life.
The Map helps a parent, teacher and student
to determine what the student’s interest and abilities are in order to design
activities, access resources and develop learning guidelines which allow the
student the best chance for success in accomplishing his or her learning goals.
Benefits of the IAM
Parents want positive results from the education process.
Parents expect their student to eventually
venture into the work place and continue to learn and earn. The IAM helps
students determine their interests and abilities early on, so that they can be
better prepared for their future careers.
Students want to be acknowledged.
Students need to understand the value of what
they are learning in the here and now. They need permission to dream. They need
to know how to make action steps that bring their dream to reality. And they
need to know how to take action steps that protect their dreams.
Teachers want interaction.
Teachers need their students to be engaged
and willing to partner in the learning process. Teachers are passionate about
their content area and want their students to be involved and connected to the
value of the information, knowledge and skills they are sharing.
