Fashion Imaginative Bridges

After reading about and analyzing some fashion critique, I am starting to see that fashion is more than just what color or prints are "hot right now." Fashion is more of a way for an individual to express themselves. There are all kinds of different fashion ideas and perspectives, and finding one that works for you is how "fashioning" works. To connect this to education, I know that teaching and learning is not one size fits all. Some like to listen to lectures, others prefer to work individually, some really enjoy working in groups. Although these are all very different ways of teaching and learning, it is important to note that understanding the individual learning styles in the class is important to understand when creating a curriculum. I know I am never going to have a class that collectively prefers the lecture/note-taking structure; in the same token, all students want to have a positive experience in the classroom. Just like I prefer the color pink and flip-flops, but my best friend prefers earth tones and Sketchers, understanding and respecting those differences makes all the difference.
