Who Knows Five? What Every Jewish Educator, Hazzan, and Rabbi Should Know About the Learning Brain
Over the past thirty years, neuroscientists have made some remarkable discoveries about how the brain learns. This session will illustrate some of the most important of these findings and how you can apply them directly to your teaching, whether you work with religious school children, Bnai Mitzvah students or adult learners.
We will explore:
The optimum ways to organize instructional time
approaches that make lessons dynamic and memorable
the role of the learning environment
the power of the senses
working and long-term memory, storage, and retrieval
how art, music, and movement can enhance learning beyond the level of simple remembering to understanding how to use knowledge creatively.
