The New “Three Rs” of Teaching and Learning

Translating the latest brain research into daily classroom practice is the focus of this training. How do learner’s receive, remember, and

retrieve? What part do emotions play in learning and accountability?

How can we help students learn to maximize memory pathways?

How does time, attitude, and test sophistication skills training impact

performance? How can we expand practice effectiveness?

Different Doesn’t Mean Dysfunctional- Differentiated Instruction

What does the latest brain research tell us about brain-compatible learning? What are the differences between genders, cultures, age groups, time of day, and needs? How can we minimize the brain strains to maximize the brain gains? How can we reach ALL to teach ALL?

Making Learning Meaningful

Without meaning there is NO learning, yet what makes something meaningful to one person is totally different that what makes something meaningful to another person. How can we help students

find what is meaningful in what is being learned? How can we use the power of experiential learning and life-related connections? What processes provide ways to add meaning to all areas of study?

Knowing What to Ask - The Art of Questioning

Learning is most powerful when it is accomplished by ASKING questions about what you have learned....not by memorizing answers to questions asked by others. Formulating questions leads to lifelong problem-solving skill development, and thinking at higher levels.

Cooperative Learning

Business is looking for knowledgeable team players. Yet, schools

have only one valedictorian, who must earn that position by winning over all the others. Listening, turn-taking, encouraging, participating,

and being accountable within a group/team are skills to be learned.

Classroom Management for the 21st Century

Attitudes of gratitude, rules, consequences, positives,and individual responsibilities are an everyday part of life. Group functioning requires structures, choices, patience, tolerance, and accountability.

Students, parents, teachers, and administrators are all in this together.
