We have to know where we want to end up before we start out and plan to get there. That is, we must have solid curriculum and instruction in place before we differentiate them. ~Carol Tomlinson Presented by: Cheryl Dick

Procedural memory is one of the most lasting forms. Learning by doing seems to last forever. That may be because it triggers glucose and engages far more neurons than cognitive tasks. ~Richards, et al., 2003
Assessment
Assessment is an ongoing process, not an event. It's about determining our students' strengths and weaknesses, and carefully adjusting instruction to increase performance in school.
Tiering
Identify the concept to be taught Assess readiness levels Design the just right activity Increase/decrease complexity to address the same concept at different readiness levels

Learning Contracts
Learning Contracts May Include: What the student plans to learn How the student plans to learn it How you will assess the activity What working conditions will occur while the student is learning the content Working Conditions May Include: Work without disturbing others. Avoid interrupting the teacher while she's teaching. Put forth your best effort. Work on anchor activities if you get stuck on something and the teacher is unavailable to help. Learning Contract Assessment I selected a topic that held my interest. I learned something new. I demonstrated this new knowledge on my chosen project. I did my best work on my chosen project. I followed the working conditions. I asked for help when I needed it. I would like another opportunity to work on a learning contract in the future. Student Teacher Yes No Yes No

Stories provide a script for us to tie information to our memory. (Markowitz & Jensen, 1999) Storytelling is a wonderful way to access more than one memory lane. Putting semantic information into a story format allows a student to see not only the whole idea but the details as well since the brain processes both wholes and parts at the same time. (Caine & Caine, 1997)

once was a hillbilly named Min --- Earl Scale. Earl talced funny. He had a girlfriend who dressed like a gypsum. Every night they checked the cattle at the cal-cite. Then they would come sit on the flurite next to the dog with a big apatite. Their favorite sport was to go out to the fields and spar (feldspar). The winner would get a Quartz of moonshine. Topaz the rest of the time, they corundumed up the mountain and back down again. After five trips up and down the mountain, they would die in mounds (diamonds).

~In the online environment, todays kids are exposed to high levels of sensory stimulation and learn experientially. You may notice they dont read the instructions on a computer game in fact, there usually arent any instructions they simply immerse themselves in the virtual world and learn by trial and error. And they learn easily and quickly. ~Dr. Richard Howell Allen, 2010
Games - Play speeds up the brains maturation process since it involves the build-in processes of challenge, novelty, feedback, coherence and time. (Jensen, 2001)
42
Music - Music activates and synchronizes neural networks which increase the brains ability to reason spatially, think creatively, and perform in generalized mathematics. (Jensen, 2001)
43
Novelty Students who know their teachers use novelty in their lessons enter the classroom with a far different, far more productive attitude than those students who fully expect to be facing the same old thing every day in the classroom (Woolfolk, 2004).
Flip Video makes movie making in the classroom easy for all.

Training Tips
46
Classroom Environments
Environments are the medium in which we live. We can feel them everyday, all day long. At school, only the quality of the teacher is a greater determinant of student success than the environment. ~Eric Jensen
Safety First
Do you have an intruder safety drill? Bullying: What are you doing about it? Maintain a caring attitude that accepts diversity. Role model positive ways to deal with temporary setbacks, mistakes, and challenges.
Priming
Plant seeds of learning with pre-exposure. These brain-hooks boost learning. Try hanging up posters, pictures, drawings, symbols two-four weeks before you begin teaching a unit.
47
Peripherals
Post visuals on side walls of the classroom above eye level. Post affirmations such as: I am a bright and capable learner. Learning is fun and easy. Every problem offers a gift. Use appropriate wall space to organize material on bulletin boards.
Clutter
Make sure your classroom is physically neat before each learning session. Analyze storage space. Do you have enough? At least one time per month, look at your clasroom through the eyes of someone else.
48
Input
The brain responds exceptionally well to learning environments with: high levels of individualized instruction, constructive feedback, small-group interaction, and high expectations. Experiment with seating and desk arrangements. Consider an occasional change of location to teach a concept.
Brain Breaks
Provide regular brief breaks to wake up the brain and nervous system.
49
Plants
A single plant can increase productivity in 100 square feet of space.
Acoustics
Make appropriate use of soothing white noise or music at suitable times to make disturbing noise.
Temperature
When relaxation is required, keep temperature between _______. When alertness is desired, keep temperature between _______.
50
Air Quality
When it comes to air, the more negatively charged it is, the better. Highly negatively charged air can be found in environments where there are a lot of plants, rushing water, wind over water, or humid areas.
