How can I use the knowledge of the learner to be a better teacher?

When we covered different learning styles in this class we also looked at how these learning styles affect us and our students. After looking at these perspectives, it is clear to see how one can use the knowledge of the learner to become a better teacher. I know that I must understand different learning styles and try to adjust my lessons to be condusive to how my students learn, because I know what it was like to be in class unable to learn because the way I learn wasn't accomadated. I also need to keep in mind that students need to be challenged and pushed, for I can remember having this not happen and falling behind. This class has taught me the value of using this knowledge of the learner to my advantage in giving my students the best possible education in my future classes.
