Worksheets Don't Grow Dendrites: 20 Instructional Strategies that Engage the Brain
Session Format
Presentation Session (45 minutes)
Location
Room 2908
Abstract for the conference program
Have you ever wondered why some students cannot understand or recall important content after a 24-hour period? If your students are not learning the way you are teaching them, then you must teach them the way they learn! Experience instructional strategies (based on brain research and learning style theory) that maximize memory and minimize forgetting. Increase learning for all students when strategies like drawing, metaphor, movement, music, and storytelling are used to teach curriculum objectives and meet international standards. Ensure that brains retain key concepts, not only for tests, but for life! This session has been called both professionally and personally life-changing and lots of fun!
