Part 2 of Classroom Craze: Trends That Transformed or Tumbled? This week Dani dives into two of the most hotly debated educational trends of the past decade: Learning Styles and Growth Mindset. Are we truly wired to learn better as visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learners, or is this a myth that’s held classrooms back? And does fostering a growth mindset really unlock student potential, or has it been oversimplified into a buzzword? With insights from research and real classroom experiences, this episode explores the strengths, weaknesses, and impact of these ideas on education today.
