My Challenge to You
Take 3 minutes to watch this AVID video about the rate of forgetting. Does this sound familiar to you? How often have you experienced the rate of forgetting as a teacher? How about as a student?
I share this video with you as a reminder of how important it is to build in repetition in learning for our students. As you can see in the video the more often we interact with something the more we learn about it... simple concept huh? AVID has taken this learning principle and created their 10 - 24 - 7 model to help remind us as educators how frequently we should help our students revisit material to create more concrete learning. How do you structure your classroom learning processes to allow students to have repetitive contact with the learning concepts?
Obviously you have to build in variation in the repetition process or students will become bored with doing the same tasks over and over again. That is where the real challenge comes in as the educator. How do you build in repetition with variation for your learners so that they are experiencing the material in new and different ways? How are you encouraging them to revisit their prior learning of previous concepts to ensure maximum retention?
This is where the art of teaching comes into focus. Your permission to fail in the creation of learning experiences for students allows you to build in the repetition with variation which will take our students to the next level.
Think. Achieve. Succeed.
