Lesson 1

Lesson 2

Lesson 3

Autonomous Learners are mindful of their emotional state

Positive Emotions make it easier for cells to communicate.

Negative Emotions make it harder for cells to communicate.

RECAP

How things should be done...

• Environment & Nutrition ( & Sleep)

• Improving strength of specific neural circuits

• Multiple simultaneous learning styles

• Traditional teaching methods are still relevant, and are equal or better than non-traditional

• Repetition, practice, and mastery

(Erbes, Folkerts, Gergis, Pederson, & Stivers) (Alferink & Farmer-Dougan, 2010)

“Oversimplification or inappropriate interpretation of complex neuroscience research...”

• Increasing dendrites != Academic Competence

• Strength > Number

• Learning only in best learning style
