4MAT Basic Training

Day One – Understanding Learner Difference

You will explore learning principles, learning style differences and right and left brain modalities through the use of the Learning Type Measure and Hemispheric Mode Indicator assessments. We examine the four major identifiable learning styles and reflect how they are equally valuable.

Day Two – Natural Learning and Organising Content Conceptually

You will examine the natural learning cycle and each progressive phase of the 4MAT design framework. We explore how to design high impact learning that moves through all 4 quadrants and how to alternate teaching strategies with right and left mode processing.

Day Three – The 4MAT and Models

You will deepen your understanding of various points around the cycle and how to move the learner from one phase to the next. Much of this day is focused on developing and refining you unit of work ensuring that it is ready for delivery.
