The Community Builder

Learns with others, and notices the people before the task.

What they're good at

  • Building connections
  • Resolving conflict
  • Bringing others in

How they learn best

Through discussion, and by explaining what they learned to someone else.

What wears them out

Isolation, and long stretches of silent work alone.

At home

Let your child explain the lesson to you out loud: explaining is how they understand.

In class

Say
“Explain this to your partner.”
Avoid
“Work silently and alone.”

This style describes a way, not an ability. Every style can excel, and what changes is the fuel and the manual.
