W o r k Stu d y & A p p r e n t i c e sh ip Learn from observations See something done, try it w i t h guidance, &get immediate feedback - Obvious relevance :\

Help get students ready for the w orkplac e. See how things apply to real-life & that you mig ht actually use w hat you arelearning gains value and importance, becomes relevant.

Cognitive Apprenticeship Make classroom learning more similar to apprenticeship type learning (make

it more visible) - - - : v , i . , , . Model the skill, provide scaffolding, be explicit w i t h how to perform the

steps, then support less and less as the students' skills improve

Goals for the Classroom Show students how classroom learning is relevant to their real w o r l d Give students the chance to use their new know ledge in real-life situations &

to solve real life problems Help close gap betw een skills needed to succeed in school life versus w o r k

life. Interes t and motiv ation increases w hen students see that a subject relates to

oth er subjects or to the real w o r l d . Authentic, real-world tasks develop strong neural netw orks. Decrease anxiety & fears around a subject by using concrete examples to helpgrasp abstract concepts Get students to actively participate in their learning
