Brain-Based Learning

Sound familiar? I am sure it does. We hear it all the time. But, what does it mean? I hate going to workshops with presenters who drop a lot buzz words and assume that everyone in the room knows exactly what they are referring to.

So for all of my teachers out there, who may not have received a clear picture of what brain-based learning looks like in the classroom, this is for YOU!

Brain-Based Learning = engaging students with strategies that cater to way their mind works.

Below are some of the instructional strategies that you can use to reach all the learners in your class. But, you are so AWESOME, you are probably using these already!

--Storytelling--Mnemonic Devices--Manipulative--Music--Games--Movement--Visuals--Cooperative Learning--Discussion--Role Play--Graphic Organizers--Technology--Analogies--

Another great resource is Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites by Marcia L. Tate.
