How Children Learn
Learning How We Learn: 3 Hour
Part One: we will look at the different learning models to understand how we learn as well as our students. We will learn what we can do to create positive learning environments where our students love to learn.
Part Two: we will take “tests” to see how we learn as teachers so we can better understand how to use our learning style to reach and teach the students in our classrooms more effectively.
Part Three: we will create lessons and show how to “bridge” to each of the different learners.
