Paragon Learning Style Inventory Materials and Resouces From the Alliance for the Study of School Climate, Transformative Education and Paragon Consulting. Created by John Shindler The following materials provide a comprehensive understanding of learning style within the school and home context. They can be used as stand alone resources or with the Paragon Learning Style Inventory (PLSI) or the Myers-Briggs Type Inventory (MBTI) or any of the many other 4 dimension Jungian type assessments. Understanding one’s own type and the possible and actual types or learning styles of those one works with, teaches, parents or coaches is essential to truly appreciating the gifts that each member brings to the class, home, committee or school. And encourages more effective practice, less needless conflict, and an environment that encourages a focus on strengths and growth. Research has shown that teachers and parents who make the effort to intentionally understand their own learning style and that of those with whom they care for and teach are more successful.
