Creating an Accelerated Learning Environment --> Other Considerations
Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
I learned that backward chaining—teaching the end goal first and then working backward through the steps—can be a powerful tool in an accelerated learning environment. By starting with the final skill, students see the purpose of their learning upfront, which boosts motivation and clarity. I plan to apply this by introducing end goals early in lessons, then guiding students step-by-step to build the skills needed to achieve them.
Learning thing you can do to increase clues to memory location and even though there's a few Primacy is important as is sets the tone for learning.
create a positive environment with positive thinking practices that encourage students to grow.
Construction of a class flow plan is key to the engagement of students. Trial or "alpha" classes can be utilized to perfect this.
Memory is important in accelerated learning because it drives how well learners retain new or changed learning. To accelerate learning, a person must learn AND recall more effortlessly.
positive thinking goes a long way, you must believe in the students and they will in return believe in themselves.
A reference manual is created to answer learners' questions about a topic they already have some experience with. It assumes that the learner will be able to format the correct question and will know what to call it so she can look up the term.
If one knows the materials, presents them well, and knows the material, the students have a far better chance at success.
this is good content. be open to change, adjustment. the smaller the group, the easier to implement the adjustments you want to do.
There is a teaching modality called backwards chaining that can be effective. It involves teaching the end skill / application first. Then the instructor works them through the steps to get there for the required proficiency.
Setting high expectations for all learners is extremely important. This is something any teacher can apply.
So far I've learned about the information delivery and why it is important as well as how course evaluations are done.
Backwards chaining and reflection will help
Monitor the success and failures of the class as you go along. At the end of the day, reflect on the events and actions that occurred.
Students can rise to your expectations.
It was interesting to learn about backward chaining since this is a different approach to the usual process of working from the objectives to the goal. I'd be interested in trying this out to see how it works.
I learned a lot about building retention, and the strategies I will use this to ensure students are retaining important information.
Asking students for feedback is essential for progression in the program.
The Pygmalion effect was totally new to me. I also like the thought of reviewing after each class to see how stratigies are working or not working for the learner.
