  1. THE SCIENCE OF GROWTH Part 1

  2. What is brain-based teaching? 30 - second write

  3. What is Brain-based teaching? • It’s the purposeful • ENGAGEMENT • of effective • STRATEGIES • derived from • PRINCIPLES • from neuroscience It’s ESP!

  4. “When students are provided with a learning environment that is optimal for learning, graduation rates, increase, learning difficulties and discipline problems decrease, a love of learning flourishes, administrators focus on the real issues, and learning organisation thrive. In short, creating an organisation around the way the brain naturally learns best may be the simplest and most critical educational reform ever initiated. In fact, of all the reforms, nothing provides a better return on your investment of time, energy, and money than developing a brain-based approach to learning.” • Eric Jensen

  5. “Every single time(without exception)that something is NOT working at your school, one of the brain’s basicpremises or “rules” are being violated.” • For example…we should encode with • moderate stress, and we recall better • with low stress. Violate that rule and kids • will learn less and underperform on tests.

  6. “Astute educators are • applying the findings • with astonishing success”... • Jensen

  7. The PARCEL

  8. The POSTAL SYSTEM

  9. BRAIN BYTES

  10. 2 BIG IDEAS

  11. 2 BIG IDEAS • 1. Emotional Integration

  12. EMOTIONS ARE NOT SEPARATE • from body and mind. • THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO • BRAIN STRUCTURE.

  13. “If we don’t deal with the emotional stuff first, then we’re not going to get anything else done.”Derek Hedgecook “Our thinking is not ‘contaminated’ by emotions: rather, our emotions are an integral aspect of our neural operating system. Emotions speed our thinking... they help us to focus our reason and logic.”Jensen

  14. All are EMOTIONAL STATE-related • Complex learning requires: • • Student investment • • Motivation • • Working memory • • Retrieval • • Critical thinking • • Risk-taking

  15. EMOTIONAL STATES

  16. • Students are at the center of all our efforts. Celebrate them in CONTENT and PROCESS. [Arrange successes for them.] • See your role as an emotional coach... • Focus on a joyful, productive, safe classroom culture. • Use celebratoryrituals • Role-model enthusiasm • MOTIVATE, then teach • Purposefully plan activities that will connect students with the content. • Use narrative / controversy / debate • Offer personal reflection • Promote social interactions / cooperative learning • NOTES TO SELF: [Implications for my teaching]
