It is clear that people learn in many different ways. Every group of learners may include a variety of learning styles.
So it makes sense that as educators, we learn to present Content in as many ways as possible - first becoming flexible and adaptable in our teaching style!
Considering that we have no Control over the internal processes of the student (feeling, thinking, doing), or whether a student learns, or wants to learn, educators must build mastery over the things we can control. This includes the environment in which the learning happens, and what we choose to do in that environment.
To enrich the learning environment, we need to build some understanding about how and why learning happens.
So basically answering the question - "How do people learn? what can i do to support individual and collective learning?"

processing the experience for meaningfulness
Processing experiences is what makes experiences meaningful. Here we look at how to invite Reflection.
"Teach me the way i learn". We do that by attempting to make the topic as meaningful as possible to the learner. It's not ONLY about the content.
What do we do before presenting content to invite curiosity, engagement and application? How do we present it? What can we do to help them see why we are doing what we are doing?
A big part of it is what is often referred to as 'Processing'. Helping them reflect by asking sharp questions; enabling their learning by applying our curiosity, and inviting theirs.
Staying away from giving them answers that we think are right. Making only ONE answer the 'correct' one. By encouraging exploration and discovery; letting them find answers that you may not come across even if you tried; those that are not yours!

This is about taking a re-look at our own perspective of who we are and what we do.
The Educator cannot be separated from the Content. Whilst we believe that students enter the classroom to collect knowledge, i think thats far from the truth! There is more Content available in the cloud to boggle most human brains! Yet we have such a thing as a classroom - a place where students and teachers engage in person, with every word spoken affecting and influencing the mood in the room, how people feel, what they choose to think about, and how they choose to do things.
What can we do for ourselves that will help create a safe environment (absence of threat), where students feel the freedom to play, laugh, practice curiosity, question one another, experiment new ways to learn, and (almost) MOST importantly, feel free to fail!
Since the educator normally has greater power, it is critical that we understand that the best use of power is NOT to use it! Power uses PUSH. What we want to do is to create a PULL - towards one another, learner and learned. For that the educator must build a relationship with every learner, and help build a sense of community in the classroom.
Connection before Content! Understanding oneself to build connections
