Reaching the non traditional student (PDF)

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Take a look around the modern classroom today and you may find a batch of students all learning in a similar way and succeeding. However, look a little deeper and you will find the outliers; students who are either blazing past everyone or struggling to keep up. Today, like never before, we have a better understanding of how these students function, what drives them and how we can assist them. This workshop focuses on how to both identify your unique learners and design a program to improve their ability to succeed.

an interesting way

“What we found was that most students WANT to be standing, to be moving. They don’t want to sit still — it’s against their nature. We are the

ones who teach them to be sedentary. Perhaps even more important was that the heavier children — those in the 85th percentile for weight based on age and gender — burned 32 percent more calories standing than

heavier children that used a traditional seated desk.”

Horizon ReportMany  interna*onal  schools  in  Asia  are  star*ng  to  use  learning  management  systems  and  applica*ons  that  have  built-­‐in  analy*cs  to  track  student  learning  progress  and  behavioral  pa:erns,  making  it  easier  to  iden*fy  where  they  need  extra  help  and  in  what  areas  they  are  excelling.    

However,  research  for  this  report  indicates  that  this  technology  is  mostly  in  the  pilot  phase  at  individual  schools  and  large-­‐scale  implementa4ons  are  distant.

SEQUENTIAL AND GLOBAL LEARNERS

!Sequential learners tend to gain understanding in linear steps, with each step following logically from the previous one. !Global learners tend to learn in large jumps, absorbing material almost randomly without seeing connections, and then suddenly "getting it."

@AutismPodcast | MichaelBoll.me

!Active learners tend to retain and understand information best by doing something active with it--discussing or applying it or explaining it to others. !Reflective learners prefer to think about it quietly first. "Let's try it out and see how it works" is an active learner's phrase; "Let's think it through first" is the reflective learner's response. !Active learners tend to like group work more than reflective learners, who prefer working alone. !

ACTIVE AND REFLECTIVE LEARNERS

@AutismPodcast | MichaelBoll.me

!Sensing learners tend to like learning facts, intuitive learners often prefer discovering possibilities and relationships. !Sensors often like solving problems by well-established methods and dislike complications and surprises; intuitors like innovation and dislike repetition !Sensors tend to be more practical and careful than intuitors; intuitors tend to work faster and to be more innovative than sensors.

SENSING AND INTUITIVE LEARNERS
