People’s means of learning concepts may hugely vary based on each individual and the manner they grasp diverse life elements, which could be discovered at an early age while learning in school. Textbooks and lectures, visual and audio would improve children’s reading and writing skills. Learners could be categorized as visual, aural and kinesthetic (practical) learners (Sadker, 2005). Other learning styles assessed may include cooperative learning such as Jigsaw, a method discovered by Elliot Aronson in which students are grouped into study teams. The materials are administered via audio, visual or kinesthetic presentation and it is the student’s responsibility to assimilate and retain the academic materials. Other approaches include learning together, thinking, paring and sharing. In this essay the three stages of learning, assessment on previous stages, evaluation, leadership roles and personal growth remarked after the course will be discussed.

Excerpt from the Book
The three stages of learning pertaining to the new learning experience
Memories consolidation would be considered as transferring information from the short to the long term memory and could become very resistant against competing factors over time (Walker et. al, 2003). New learning experience would begin with practices whereas the learner will center much time and energy, it is the most important element of learning any new discipline, consistent efforts are demanded from the adherent because the practices must be engrained as a second nature, real time where the system archeypes are repeated spontaneously and adjusted when encountering issues. The second stage of learning would be attached to principles which lay behind practices of any disciplines being taught. The structure influence model is applied to eradicate “policy resistance”, an attitude of humans to withstand changes. Vision like any other discipline would be viewed as a fundamental source contrasting creative and emotional tension. The principle is both significant for the beginner and the individual who has mastered the discipline because only the rationale behind the discipline would aid maintain the practices while motivating others. Mastery of the discipline requires both efforts and understanding by cause of it involves a new behavior followed by an action plan “thinking and doing” (Senge, 2006).
