Brain-Based Learning Strategies
Visuals
Use posters, videos, and others
Chunking
Children learn best when given chuncks
Movement
Movement with learning shape stronger learning
Emotions
Positive vibe; encourage and praise students
Shake it up
Change something in class make it not boring
Talking
Discuss what student have learned
The brain needs oxygen
To increase student focus
Brain breaks
Take time to res
Make connection
Make connection through experience and stories
Music
One of the powerful learning tools
Feedback
Student need to hear they are on the right track
Acronyms
Create acronyms to remember better
Hydration
Allow student to drink water during learning time
Time for reflection
Provide time after lesson to think about the topic
Energy level
Take advantages during students' high energy level time to teach important material
Space
Personal space reduces stress
Location
Vary on stand, teachers and students
Positive environment
Be sure to maintain a positive learning environment
Optimism
Be sure to model and talk about optimism, students future may depend on it
Choice
Students love to have choice
Anticipation
Give students information to retell to others
Meaningful learning
Make lectures relevant and meaningful
Core Principles of Brain-Based Learning
Learning involves both focused attention and peripheral perception.
The search for meaning comes through patterning.
The search for meaning is innate.
types of memory
spatial
rote
Learning engages the whole physiology.
We understand best when facts are embedded in natural, spatial memory
The brain is a parallel processor, meaning it can perform several activities at once,
like tasting and smelling.
Emotions are critical to patterning.
The brain processes wholes and parts simultaneously
Learning involves both conscious and unconscious processes.
Learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by threat.
Each brain is unique.
Caine and Caine (1991) developed twelve principles that apply what we know about the
function of the brain to teaching and learning.
Instructional Techniques Associated with Brain-Based Learning

3 Interactive elements are essential to this process
Orchestrated Immersion
:
-Creating learning environments that fully immerse students in an educational experience
-Students feel like they're part of the process
-Teacher must immerse students in complex, interactive experiences that are rich and ideal
For example: Immersing students in French culture while teaching them French as a second language
Relaxed Alertness:
-Eliminate fear in learners while maintaining highly challenging environment
-It's the idea if keeping fear in check while still providing a challenging environment
-Personally meaningful challenges stimulates student's mind to the desired state of alertness
Active Processing:
-Allow learner to consolidate and internalise information by actively processing it
-Active processing is the means by which a student is given the opportunity to continually and actively process information to internalise, consolidate and relate to it
-For a student to gain insight about a problem, there must be intensive analysis of the different ways to approach it, and about learning in general
