This year I’m learning about…LEARNING!
I am fascinated by how easily learning comes for some students while it’s so much more difficult- but POSSIBLE- for other students.
If you are a k-12 teacher, this is an easy-to-digest article that highlights the basics of why some students learn more easily than others and strategies to help those students who don’t!! #SOL #ScienceOfLearning

We have 2 truths happening in most classrooms. One is some students are drowning in material that is well above their heads. They need foundational skills. The other is some students are bored out of their minds. They need to be taught advanced material in a shorter timeframe.

Focus On The Cause Instead Of Just The Effect…
When looking at a student who is exhibiting challenging behaviors, we often focus solely on the effect it manifests. We need to dig deeper to uncover the cause. If we address the root cause, we can nurture growth and pave the path to positive transformation.
