CSHS Weekly Bulletin
February 8-14, 2016
The Principles of Learning
The Principles of Learning state that students learn best when provided:
- Novel experiences at the individually appropriate level of challenge--or stretch
(just the right balance of challenge; not too easy or too hard)
- Meaningful repetition with variation
(practice can make perfect if it's not boring: provide variety over a period of time
to counterbalance the rate of forgetting)
- New knowledge is connected to previous knowledge
(tie ideas and experiences together)
- High quality models
(imitate and demonstrate)
- Multiple and frequent opportunities for success in small learning increments
(break down goals into small successful steps)
As you plan for this week and upcoming units, consider how you are implementing the Principles of Learning & the 3 C's & 3 R's (rigor, relevance, relationships, choice, creativity, and customization) to lead to student success and long-term retention of information. Tweaking a few small details when crafting your plans can make a huge difference in student performance.
May you all have a wonderful week!
