CAN YOU HELP JAYDEN? Jayden liked school but always got in trouble for getting up and moving around in his high school class. He would tap his pencil on the desk when he was reading, and when doing his assignments at home he liked to walk around. He didn’t like to follow instructions on assignments but preferred to just get started and do the work. This caused some problems for him because he sometimes missed important parts of the assignments. Jayden is now taking online classes -What suggestions can you give Jayden to help him find success in online studies? -What is Jayden’s preferred learning style? -How can he use it to his advantage? 14
