  4. Teaching with the Brain in Mind • What’s in a School that Uses Brain-Based Research? • Use of positive school wide classroom rituals (Positive School Nutrition) • Teachers managing student emotional states • (Physical activity for all 30 minutes/day) • Arts for all students • (Arts provide a sense of control) • Differentiation used by teachers • Cooperative structures used • Better Buildings (light control, safety, access) Eric Jensen, 2006 VASCD

  5. What to Look for… • In classrooms where teachers understand and use this principle, you’ll likely see: • Even when there's pressure for test scores, savvy teachers include voluntary gross motor activity such as running, skipping, jumping, relays, walking, marching, etc. Eric Jensen, 2006 VASCD

  6. How to teach to the brain • Purposeful use of positive classroom rituals, colorful, inspiring walls, the use of teams, affirmations, and partner work. Eric Jensen, 2006 VASCD

  7. How to teach to the brain • What do I do about it? • Greater use of emotions, association, repetition and meaning-making • More error correction, review and daily/weekly revisions • Expect learners to NOT get it right the 1st time • Physical movement with connection to content • Chunking down the content into smaller chunks and pauses after new learning. Eric Jensen, 2006 VASCD

  8. How to teach to the brain • FINALLY • THE FOUNDATION IS RELATIONSHIP • Respect (You show respect 1st before they give it to you; you cannot demand respect, only earn it.) • Relationship (Show you care about them, first, before they’ll care about you.) • Hope (You must never, ever, give up on them; they’ll sense it and give up on you, too.) Eric Jensen, 2006 VASCD

  9. How to teach to the brain • If you keep using the same strategies and the students keep failing – Who’s really the SLOW LEARNER?! • For best recall: • Think (about how it applies to you) • Write (down key ideas with color) • Discuss (ideas with colleague ASAP) • Make (a plan to use it and get feedback) • Too much talk makes them blue; more of them and less of you! Eric Jensen, 2006 ASCD

  10. Talk it over Two Minute Review Walk and Talk

  11. Getting back in touch with your brain… Cross Lateral Movement http://www.braingym.org/index.html

  12. Direct Instruction BINGO

  13. Cry For Help

  14. Direct Instruction: Get your students involved

  15. Teaching the content • Homogenous -- Heterogeneous --- Homogenous • Divide your students up by ability (This will allow them to talk effectively with their peers) • Assign them a letter (each member of each homogenous group gets a letter) • Have the “letters” meet to research an assigned topic (this will allow for peer interaction) • Have the students return to their home group for discussion and sharing.

  16. At the end of the lesson Immediately after teaching new information, have students discuss, draw or act out the material.

  17. What am I? • Write key items for review (like a name, concept, place or term) on pieces of paper, one item per page. • When students enter your classroom in the morning or after a break, tape a page to each person’s back. • Students wander around the room asking each person one yes or no question to determine what item they are wearing. • Have them write down their guess and return to their seat. • Once everyone is finished have them check to see if they are correct. Carolyn Chapman, 2005

  18. Choice Board

  19. Reflections after learning • Rotation Reflection: • Post charts around the room with a related topic written on each sheet • Small groups gather at each location to give ideas and views on the cart topic. • A recorder fills in the charts with great ideas generated. • A signal is given for the groups to move to the next chart and respond to the topic. • Groups continue around the room, visiting each chart in turn and adding ideas. • The last group remains at the chart, consolidates information, and reports it to the large group. Gregory, Chapman 2003

  28. Pictionary

  29. Obtuse Angle Arc Cube Sphere Hexagon

  30. Polygon Perimeter Area Radius Circle

  31. Jeopardy

  32. How to play JEOPARDY with a large group Coaches serve as leaders White boards (every two students) Every person must have the exact same thing written on white boards. You are allowed to “steal” points if a question is missed. Everyone must show the answer at the same time. All groups are working on the same problem.

  35. Building a Game Do NOT reinvent the wheel. Allow your “gifted” students to tackle this project as an enrichment activity. http://www.store.yahoo.com/tngenterprises/mayoownop.html http://www.areyougame.com/interact/item.asp?itemno=TC1999 http://www.boardgames.com/makyourownmo.html

  36. Exit Slips 3, 2 & 1

  37. Add Music Eric Jensen says... What is the “state” of the learner I wish to evoke? What is the target state for the audience and what state are they in now? Music can be the gap-closer. Choose music carefully based on the state you want to achieve. http://www.freeplaymusic.com
