Learning Profiles allow teachers to better address the needs of their students thus allowing for them to progress at a steady rate.
These profiles are created through observations, surveys and interactions between the teacher-teacher; teacher-students; teacher-parents
In order to hit most if not all of the needs the teacher has to include various instructions and experiences in his/her lesson (ex. visuals, manipulative, auditory, etc.)
