Setting out around the school grounds or somewhere inside, such as the cafeteria, students discuss with their partners the given topics. To model this, the educator should choose a partner, have other students gather around the pair, and walk around the destination discussing a certain topic. This provides insight for the other students by showing them that they must stick to the topic and shows how new ideas are generated by talking to someone else. I was thrilled the students caught on immediately, stuck to the topic, and beg to do this often before writing assignments or other activities. Spanning the grade levels, many brain compatible learning strategies are easy to implement, costs little or no money, and produce incredible results.
Students become more productive problem solvers and thinkers, and teachers become less frustrated.
The more neuroscientists research the brain, the more educators are finding ways to implement strategies that are productive in the classroom. Understanding that the brain learns in certain ways naturally, the educator is given the opportunity to implement better learning and teaching strategies. Brain Compatible Learning is giving educators a new outlook on the profession. The research from neuroscientists combined with the strategies by educators has opened the doors to unlimited possibilities for the classroom environment. Teachers are each other's best resources.
