I got a handout at a professional development workshop last week. It's from M. Tate, an author and lecturer who talks about brain-based learning. I did not see her speak, but was given a handout of the top 20 strategies to take advantage of how the brain learns best. Let's see...
1. writing
2. storytelling
3. mnemonic devices
4. visuals
5. movement
6. role play
7. visualization
8. metaphor, analogy
9. reciprocal teaching
10. music
11. graphic organizers
12. drawing
13. humor
14. discussion
15. games
16. project-based instruction
17. field trips
18. work-study
19. technology
20. manipulatives
I was blown away by how many of these are used in a TPRS based classroom and how few are used in other classes. Where are worksheets in this? Hmmm...
