Implications+and+big+ideas

6) We should always model behavior, words, language, actions because children/adolescents mimic to learn.   7)  We have to pick important information to teach students. There is a limited amount of space in working memory so we can not overload. Use 2 or 3 vocab and terms. 8) Build in time for reflection on everything; instructions, work they have done...  9)  Find out what motivates students and build on their prior knowledge and intrinsic motivation. Make connections to their lives 10) Teachers who feel emotion and have own experience will be followed by students who build their own- excitement and emotion, planning, reflecting  11)  Do not skip reflection- students must have an experience, reflect, then test 12) We must get to learning needs of the brain by mixing lecture with experience so that the front and back parts of the brain are at work.  13)  Help students see how information relates to their own lives- create in the classroom if needed 14) An environment must feel safe so that students can achieve cognition  15)  Transference of ownership
 * 1) 1)  · Language is a plan for action and asking students to explain in their own words leads to new meaning and a deeper understanding of their own plan.
 * 2) 2)  · Watching our own language to make sure we provide students with time to process and think about their own certainties and  uncertainties. Giving them a few seconds to think
 * 3) 3)  · Allow students to use facts to form their own beliefs and opinions instead of “mirroring” the opinion of the teacher.
 * 4) 4)  · Starting to work can be the hardest thing for students. They either don’t know where to begin or don’t fully understand it. As teachers we must help them and model for them how to make a plan to get started. Teach them how to- may take a ton of time at first but once they can do it then work is done faster. Examples/ Graphic Organizers /Rubric  Analyzing the feasibility of the plan – what pieces worked and what pieces did not work. Reflecting on the plan.
 * 5)   · AS students cannot complete a plan. Creating a plan must become internalized as part of the routine. “FIRST we are making a plan THEN we are acting on the plan.”

7. Emotion is learning 8. Build on Prior Knowledge 9. Intrinsic motivator should be learning- use intrinsic vs extrinsic such as free time or games
 * 1. Create our own experiences and learning will happen.**
 * 2.** **Sense** **à****Integrate** **à** **Act**
 * 3.** **Any ideas we produce must be tested by action.**
 * 4.** **Make the classroom full of senses balance lecture with experience. (We remember because we made it)**
 * 5.** **Complete thinking takes time!! – We need to make a plan, act and reflect on it.**
