Teach the way they learn
Fiona shares a quotation attributed to Michael J Fox and reflects that it applies to all of us, not only children.
"If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn."
Michael J Fox
--Not just a quote regarding children. I think this applies to all of us!
Source & reference
Originally published on FionaDrive.com (WordPress). Title: TEMPORARY working title 'Teach the way they learn' derived from the supplied quotation; NOT a verified WordPress title. Awaiting authoritative FionaDrive WordPress post title verification from Greg. Do NOT claim this was Fiona's original WordPress title. Publication date/time: NOT YET VERIFIED. No authoritative publication date/time has been supplied. published_date and original_published_date left null. Date NOT inferred from surrounding posts or migration order. Awaiting authoritative WordPress metadata. Original quotation: "If a child can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn." The original FionaDrive article attributes this quotation to "Michael J Fox". The attribution was preserved as historical source wording and was NOT independently verified during migration. Do NOT treat or describe the attribution as independently verified unless authoritative evidence has separately established it. The quotation was NOT researched, expanded or rewritten during this migration. Fiona's original commentary preserved: "--Not just a quote regarding children. I think this applies to all of us!" The two leading hyphens preserved exactly and NOT converted into an em dash. This is substantive Fiona-authored commentary and is what distinguishes the article from a simple third-party quote/resource post. It provides historical evidence of Fiona's developing learner-centred philosophy and her belief in adapting teaching to the individual. Fiona's short observation was NOT expanded into claims about learning styles, VAK, educational psychology, neuroscience, differentiated instruction, disability or special educational needs, or how particular groups of people learn. WordPress cleanup: inline colour #ff0000, text-align styling, obsolete H1 presentation styling, and other purely presentational WordPress HTML removed. The quotation presented semantically as a blockquote. Fiona's commentary remains clearly distinguishable from the attributed quotation. No em dashes introduced. No educational/learning-styles/scientific claims invented: No biography of Michael J Fox, explanation of the quotation, educational theory, research evidence, scientific claims, learning-styles theory, or modern commentary added. Image: image_url: null. No historical article image supplied. No photograph of Michael J Fox, quotation graphic, Unsplash image, or generic learner/teacher stock photography substituted. Relationships: None created. related_workshop_ids: [], related_product_ids: [], related_testimonial_ids: []. No automatic links to Beyond the Test, Scaling, Mind Mapping, Go Solo, or any current FionaDrive Workshop/Product. Conceptual similarity to Fiona's current learner-centred work is not sufficient evidence of a direct historical relationship. Legacy URL: null. No verified historical FionaDrive public URL available. None constructed from the quotation or temporary title. Reason for KEEP rather than ARCHIVE: Although short, the article contains Fiona's own substantive professional interpretation ("--Not just a quote regarding children. I think this applies to all of us!"). This provides useful historical evidence of Fiona's learner-centred philosophy and is therefore more than simply a reposted third-party quotation.
