Individual Learners: Characteristics and Attributes
Before sharing all the resources, let’s review a few characteristics and attributes of our Individual Learners.
An individual learner are very private. They like to ponder, meditate, and journal on their own. They are really good at relating the scriptures to themselves. Individual Learners keep their thoughts and feelings to themselves and prefer studying alone.
Individual learners do not like to answer questions in a classes. They are sometimes willing to share personal experiences that relate to the scriptures. Having a study journal to record thoughts and impressions is a great addition to any individual learners study supplies.
