Learning Styles
.
In an attempt to appeal to a wide variety of students, ICHV’s Student Voices Contest is designed to allow students to address the issue of handgun violence through various disciplines, namely art, poetry, and essay writing. Like the contest, the curriculum seeks to provide opportunities for expression to all different types of learners so that students may draw on their own unique backgrounds and talents to explore the issue in a way that is meaningful to them.

Multiple Intelligences
Since learning styles vary greatly from student to student within a single classroom, this curriculum attempts to meet the needs of all types of learners:
Visual/Spatial Learners: think in pictures and need to create vivid mental images to retain information.
Verbal/Linguistic Learners: have highly developed auditory skills and are generally elegant speakers. They think in words rather than pictures.
Logical/Mathematical Learners: think conceptually in logical and numerical patterns, making connections between pieces of information.
Bodily/Kinesthetic Learners: express themselves through movement. Through interacting with the space around them, they are able to remember and process information.
Musical/Rhythmic Learners: think in sounds, rhythms and patterns. They immediately respond to music, either appreciating or criticizing what they hear.
Interpersonal Learners: try to see things from other people’s point of view in order to understand how they think and feel. They often have an uncanny ability to sense feelings, intentions and motivations.
Intrapersonal Learners: try to understand their own inner feelings, dreams, relationships with others, and strengths and weaknesses.
