Mental challenge can occur with new material, adding degree of difficulty, or through limiting the resources. Novelty is also important. The decor of the classroom should be changed every two to four weeks by the students for the best enrichment. Instructional strategies should be changed by using computers, groups, field trips, guest speakers, pairings, games, student teaching, journaling, or multiage projects. Learner feedback should be maximized because feedback reduces uncertainty, and it increases coping abilities while lowering brain stress.
Several conditions make feedback more effective.
The reaction must be specific, not general. Computers and video games are an example. Feedback is ordinarily most useful for learners when it is immediate. To increase enrichment, it's time to reaffirm the integration of the arts and movement into the curriculum. The arts and movement are often excellent forms of challenge and feedback.
