Jamie Oliver in ‘Chef’s Table, The Legends’ currently showing on Netflix, had me both in tears and in goosebumps when he ferociously squeezed lemons between his hands – juice and pips flying all over – while saying: ‘This is just how my brain learns’.
Oh Jamie, what if your teachers allowed you to practice spelling in cake flour while baking scones for your class? Nevertheless, your self-awareness and understanding of your own sensory preferences are profound and commendable, and of course played a key role in your phenomenal success. I take my hat off to you!
Student sensory styles clarify just that – we all learn differently, as our brains respond differently to a variety of sensory messages. What helps me focus and learn, may be either distracting or boring to my classmates, and vice versa.
Jamie, you have me fired up to empower each and every student from Hendrina to Harvard with the joyous knowlege of: ‘This is just how mý brain learns’.
