The importance of Personality Preferences
Children are most comfortable when they can use their learning preferences. Even though they can learn to operate outside of their preferences, it takes more effort, which can hamper their learning. As a result, it is vital for teachers to better understand children’s temperament and personality styles early on. Similarly, it is important for teachers to not overlook “goodness of fit” in other words, the difference between their temperament and the child.
