This book was released on 2007-02-26 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brain Based Teaching With Adolescent Learning in Mind addresses adolescent learning and its implications and applications for curriculum design and research-based instruction. Glenda Crawford connects new research to the larger picture of students' social, emotional, and intellectual needs and points to productive ways to help adolescents learn and succeed.This resource acknowledges the wide range of differences that new century adolescents bring to classrooms. The author offers lesson examples that easily differentiate for very individual brains of students who have varying cultural backgrounds, levels of English language proficiency, background experiences and prior knowledge, and individual abilities and interests. Readers will find key concepts related to adolescent learning, including metacognition, motivation, social cognition, and self-regulation. Educators will learn about linking instruction to relevant issues and reality-based problems, and about student-directed inquiry, interpretation, debate and analysis, technological access, cooperative learning and global collaboration. Standards-based content examples and scenarios focus on the elements of relevance, active learning, content depth, collaboration, inquiry, challenge, student ownership, ongoing assessment, and guided reflection. The Adolescent-Centered Teaching (ACT) Models in each chapter illustrate this framework, with emphasis on: Essential content understandings Strategies for inquiry Adolescent motivation and challenge through intriguing and authentic events, problems and questions Teachers serving as active facilitator as students become progressively self-directed Metacognitive development and assessment, during which adolescents are involved in evaluation, reflection, and the transfer of learning to comparable and extended experiences Technology connectionsMultiple examples illustrate these interacting social, affective, and cognitive dimensions of an environment that is conducive to adolescent learning. This handbook also provides strategies for promoting transfer of learning to new contexts and more practical ideas for putting brain-based, adolescent-centered teaching into practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kinesthetic Vocabulary Activities Your Child Will Love: In Just 27 Days Improve Your Kinesthetic Child's Vocabulary and Reading Comprehension can help end your frustration as a parent. It provides answers to the burning questions tens of thousands of parents and teachers of kinesthetic children and teens have asked me, including: How do I develop my kinesthetic child or teen's vocabulary when he or she cannot sit still and thinks vocabulary is boring? Kinesthetic learners learn vocabulary using different strategies and activities from learners of other learning styles or brain styles such as visual learners, auditory learners, or tactile learners, whether right brain or left brain preference. Students with a right-brain preference learn differently from those with a left-brain preference. If traditional methods of learning vocabulary words are not working for your kinesthetic child (K-12), it could be that the teaching method does not match your kinesthetic child or teen's method of learning. These techniques have worked for students diagnosed or suspected of having ADHD or ADD also. If you are looking for fun, engaging kinesthetic vocabulary activities for a kinesthetic learner of any age from pre-school, pre-K, or grades K-12, college, or adult, then this book will provide you activities that have made a difference in only 27 days. These kinesthetic vocabulary lessons and activities can accelerate and improve your child or teen's vocabulary and reading comprehension. These tested and proven activities have worked with tens of thousands of children and teens of all ages around the world. These activities will engage your kinesthetic child or teen of any age in fun activities while improving vocabulary and raising reading comprehension. Why wait for an important test, a state reading test, high school entrance exam, or the ACT or SAT college prep tests to try to cram thousands of words into your kinesthetic child or teen's brain in a few weeks? Start today and give your child or teen the competitive edge to have great reading comprehension and a great vocabulary to succeed in any content area subject, reading, or in tests.
