How People Learn

I think in order for a teacher to improve their students learning, they need to give them a small assessment just to figure out what they already know. Once they know what their children know they can figure out where they need to begin instead of starting from scratch. Teachers can present new information by allowing their class to do their own research. Having to just jot down notes doesn’t allow many people the opportunity to actually really learn what they are being taught instead of just drilling themselves on the information. Doing research allows them to get into character and deliver the information firsthand which actually allows them to learn it. They could always try a learner centered perspective in the classroom. To me this is trial and error because you can see your own misconceptions of things. Some people take what they are familiar with into the classrooms instead of doing full on research to figure out what they actually need to do. Letting them make that mistake actually allows them to see what they need to do from there on out. There is a type of tool that you can use to organize your instruction and plans. The star legacy was built for teachers to use to help create their lesson plans and it helps you to have a creative learning environment. Teachers can also use bubble maps, spreadsheets, and lessons plans that can help them sort things out. There are also other charts you can make on the computer to help sort out materials. IRIS has dedicated its’ time to perform research for college students and professors on activities and other information to do with students with disabilities. They increase the students learning by knowing what to do in case they have a child hard of hearing, hard of seeing, or immobile. The faculty can use them by allowing the students by providing the interactive trainings online in the classroom.
