Engagement
!!!!!
● Strategies: ● Story ● Visuals ● Self-Expression
11
Key: Engagement is activating the neurobiological function of attention, focusing the learner’s working memory resources.
AnalyzeScaffolding & the power of prior knowledge

!!!!
● “The single most important factor in learning is the existing network of neurons in the learner’s brain. Ascertain what they are and teach accordingly.”
13
~ David Ausubel
Scaffolding
!!!!!
● Strategies: ● Relationships ● Metaphor ● Formative Feedback
14
Key: Learning is a constructivist process –we scaffold new concepts onto existing models.
AssociateElaboration & elaborative rehearsal
15
!!!!!
● “We have superior memory for anything that is processed at the level of meaning.”
16
~Visual Language, Connie Malamed
Elaboration
!!!!!
● Strategies: ● Case Studies ● Elaborative Rehearsal
17
Key: New learning is “sticky” if it’s elaborate, meaningful, and contextual
ApplyInsights on assessment
18
!!!!!
● “We are often poor judges of when we are learning and when we are not.”
