1. Brain-
an approach to teaching that is grounded in the latest research on how
Based
the brain learns best. Strategies that align with the natural learning
Learning
processes of the brain, making education more effective and engaging.
Factors like emotion, environ- ment, repetition, and individual neurological
differences significantly impact how well students learn.
2. Multisensory Brain retains information better when multiple senses are engaged.
In- struction
3. Brain Breaks The brain needs time to process and consolidate information.
Implementing short breaks during lessons can improve focus and
retention.
This is also tied to ideas of "cognitive load," the theory that the brain has
limited processing capacity at any given time, and too much sensory
or informational input can overwhelm learners.
4. 4 Exemplary 1) Modeling learning progressions and adapting learning
Ar- eas for experiences, re- sources, and feedback to support learners'
Learning as a progress.

2) Collaborative learning and scuttling, scripting, and orchestrating
social in- teraction.
3) Simulations, visualization, modeling, and representation.
4) Opportunities to engage in hands-on constructive activities.

6. Retrieval Practice A learning strategy where you actively recall information from
memory, rather than passively reviewing it.
Strengthens memory; helps students flexibly apply what they learn, which
strengthens the neural pathways associated with that information.
