Unlocking Effective and Lasting Learning Strategies

For Health and Human Services and Trades and Technical Programs

 

Are you ready to trans­form your stu­dents’ learn­ing expe­ri­ence?

How many of your stu­dents believe learn­ing myths, such as high­light­ing is the best way to learn? Or that cram­ming the night before a test will result in suc­cess? Cog­ni­tive psy­chol­o­gy research sug­gests these meth­ods are not the most effec­tive.

Adopt­ing evi­dence- based strate­gies like active retrieval and dual cod­ing can sig­nif­i­cant­ly improve learn­ing out­comes com­pared to these com­mon myths. Join us as we help to unlock and unpack these learn­ing strate­gies with your stu­dents.

Facil­i­tat­ed by teach­ing and learn­ing con­sul­tants, Rachel Goodliffe and David Johns, this ses­sion designed for Health and Human Ser­vices and Trades class­es will guide your stu­dents through a jour­ney of dis­cov­ery and self-reflec­tion.

What to Expect

We are offer­ing 1 hour ses­sions to come to your class and help inform your stu­dents and chal­lenge com­mon mis­con­cep­tions about learn­ing. They will reflect on their cur­rent approach­es to deter­mine what is work­ing and what isn’t. Research shows that when stu­dents devel­op self-aware­ness around their learn­ing process­es, they tran­si­tion from shal­low, rote meth­ods to strate­gies that help infor­ma­tion stick. Unlock­ing effec­tive and last­ing learn­ing  strate­gies is cru­cial for stu­dents’ aca­d­e­m­ic suc­cess and per­son­al growth.

Session Highlights

Our ses­sions intro­duce stu­dents to fun, evi­dence-based learn­ing tech­niques. Here’s what we offer:

  • Peer Learn­ing Expe­ri­ences: Stu­dents will have the oppor­tu­ni­ty to expe­ri­ence and prac­tice learn­ing strate­gies with their peers in class.
  • Prac­ti­cal Strate­gies: We pro­vide inter­ac­tive prac­ti­cal strate­gies to enhance learn­ing before, dur­ing, and after class.
  • Take away resources: Pock­et ref­er­ence, book­mark and work­sheets.
