| Summary |
"Everyone has a unique style of learning, thinking and working. However very few people learn or work in a way which is best for them. The Power of Diversity has been written to help people discover their preferred, individual way of learning and in turn help them to succeed in life. Designed as an easy-to-read workbook, this fully updated third edition introduces the concept of learning styles and explains the important part these play in the new learning revolution in education, business and sport. The book includes many examples from schools and institiutions around the world that have incorporated Barbara Prashnig's work, and it discusses the results of their initiatives to incorporate diverse learning styles."--Publisher's website |
