For many, December is a time of giving. This month, I want to reflect on a gift my dad gave me back in 6th grade: the gift of understanding my learning style and learning how to better process and retain information.

Statistically, I was at risk of being a dropout. I was held back in first grade because I couldn’t read the required words to advance, and to this day, I still feel panicked if I have to read aloud in front of adults. But my dad helped me unlock my potential by increasing my visual learning capacity, setting me on a path to success. As a result, I eventually earned a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of Portland. 

Whether you’re a teacher or a parent, our course through MGA’s Academy offers valuable insights into how you can improve someone else’s ability to learn, store, and retrieve information. With this knowledge, you’ll be equipped to guide them in a way that connects and resonates when they demonstrate their knowledge in class.

I owe it all to my dad’s unwavering support and determination to help me succeed.

Thank you for all that you do. 

Be well, Krista
