- 16. C. Practices and Models of T & L 5. Optimal Learning with Trevor Hawes Learning Implications: Consider learner differences Develop whole-brain usage Learning how to learn Music to anchor states Rich and stimulating environment Teach as if the brain mattered
- 17. Teachers – How does classroom practice facilitate Optimal Learning for all students? Do Teachers: Ensure conditions right for learning Present in ways student can A cquire and A bsorb it Enable students to C onstruct meaning Review for effective recall and retention ( T ransfer into long term memory) Provide feedback and celebrate success Recognise and celebrate all forms of intelligence Take into account gender and learning? Tune students in to CITV and WIIFM ?
- 18. Teachers – How does classroom practice facilitate optimal learning for all students? Are Students: Relaxed to learn Setting goals Feeling challenged, curious, confident Switching on their RAS Finding the material relevant and relating to previous learning Working whole-brained (Left/Right) Working VAK -ly (or VARK -ly) Constructing meaning Using and developing all intelligences Reviewing – running electricity around at least 5 times?
- 19. C. Practices and Models of T & L 5. Optimal Learning with Trevor Hawes A good teacher reaches 80% of her students; a great teacher reaches 80% of her students. What is the difference? The good teacher reaches the same students lesson after lesson, the great teacher varies her techniques to reach ALL students over time.
