What is Deeper Learning Anyway?

May 27, 2015 in

Understanding and Using Neuroscientific Insights to Accelerate Learning

Understanding and Using Neuroscientific Insights to Accelerate Learning

By exploring and capitalizing on new neuroscientific insights, educators have a unique opportunity to revolutionize standard pedagogical approaches. Research is proving that students are more successful at learning and retention of information when these discoveries are successfully employed. Central to initiating this movement away from standard approaches, is having educators understand and apply the ways that circadian rhythms and environmental influences can exponentially enhance a student's … [Read more...]

Executive Functioning: A Practical Guide for Identifying Weakness and Building Targeted Skills

March 25, 2015 in

Executive Functioning: A Practical Guide for Identifying Weakness and Building Targeted Skills

OverviewEducators everywhere frequently struggle with students who clearly have the capability of learning, but fail to do so because of disorganization, poor time management, and missing the main ideas of the curriculum.

Educators who can recognize an executive … [Read more...]

OverviewHaving a window into the disruptions that will reshape learning over the next decade allows us to respond creatively rather than to fear how we can prepare learners for an uncertain future. Especially, when education is potentially facing a decade of deep disruption of the scope that Amazon brought to retail and iTunes brought to the music industry.

Implementing Project-Based Learning in a Public School Setting

Research has shown that project-based learning (PBL) encourages independent work, critical thinking, lends itself to authentic assessment and evaluation of a learner's progress, helps teachers reach students with varying learning styles, and most importantly, promotes lifelong learning.

Collaborating with Behaviorally Challenging Students

February 4, 2015 in

Collaborating with Behaviorally Challenging Students

Educators often need to work with challenging students that disrupt classrooms, and leave those around them frustrated and angry. This often results in schools employing unilateral, reactive, punitive, adversarial interventions — detentions, suspensions and corporal punishment — when dealing with behaviorally challenging students. The reality is that things can change for the better when interventions are collaborative and proactive, and focused on skill-building, relationship-enhancing and … [Read more...]

Own It: Preparing Students for Success

Own It: Preparing Students for Success

Overview Student success can be heavily tied to their level of engagement. On the part of educator and the learner - in an effort to find success and get the student to be engaged - this can mean a lot of hard work. This can be especially challenging if the learner feels dissatisfied, pays little attention and gets no gratification from their learning experience.  As an educator, it is important to foster an environment where a student starts thinking like the owner of their education to … [Read more...]
