    This blog essay is by one of my favorite authors - Maryellen Weimer.  In this essay she dispels four of the most misconceptions about learning that many students (young and old!) believe.  The data does not support these beliefs.

A Matter of Style - Grasha - 0 views

    A more manageable resource than Grasha's entire book. This 8-page paper that appeared in "College Teaching" essentially outlines chapter 4 of his larger work "Teaching with Style". It includes the 5 teacher styles, 4 teacher style clusters, types of teaching methods associated with each cluster, as well as factors to consider when choosing a teaching method. It also contains more of the details and background in Grasha's research on teaching styles.

Teaching with Style- Grasha - 1 views

    This is a pdf of a whole book, but Chapter 4 (p154) is particularly pertinent to my presentation on teaching styles. It goes over the 5 teacher styles, 4 teacher style clusters, types of teaching methods associated with each cluster, as well as factors to consider when choosing a teaching method. It also contains more of the details and backgrounds in Grasha's research on teaching styles.
