  3. Reflect on Your Own Lessons • What strategies are you already using? • Which strategies do you wish to know more about? • How could you become more proficient?

  4. Top 10 Guidelines for Planning • Needs to be Fun!!! • Brains are unique. • Practice does not make perfect. • Rehearsal is essential for retention. • Lecture = lowest degree of retention. • Working memory has limited capacity. • Past experience affects new learning. • Emotions affect all learning aspect. • Brain seeks patterns for meaning. • Learning engages the entire person (cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains).
