Example
Provide handouts.
Write on the board or use transparencies.
Show students how to use coding when Make up silly sentence with first letter of each word in the list.
Use mental imagery techniques such as the keyword method.
memorizing lists.
HOW TO IMPLEMENT
BRAIN-COMPATIBLE TECHNIQUES
How to implement?
1. Safe environment
2. Use emotions as effective tools
3. Enforce multisensory practices that make sense
4. Differentiated teaching practice is supportive
5. Special needs are met through planning
6. Bring forth sense and meaning because it is essential
Important to future education.
This is important to future education because it ensures the student are
enjoying their education journey, which then enhances their learning
experience. This provides a meaningful learning experience for the
student that encompasses all of their needs and wants. When the brain
becomes the focus of education, student become successful problem
solvers while able to take on new challenges that await.
