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.
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.
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.
This day focuses on how to add assessment measures which provide learners with the opportunity to actively produce real work and demonstrate their knowledge, skills and understandings. You will explore how to include assessment for and assessment of learning strategies into the cycle.
You will examine strategies to polish your design and improve the flow of learning around the cycle. You will have time to share your plans with others and refine and critique your own design while developing deeper levels of understanding regarding the model and its application.
