Students in the classroom must be properly motivated to achieve success in their studies and one proven way to do this is to link the subject being taught with a previous experience the student has had. In this way, the learning experience becomes more meaningful to the student and can be related to already familiar and concrete ideas. This process can work both ways as well. A student can be offered an experience that directly relates to information that has already been supplied, thereby reinforcing the lesson. This can also be called "discovery learning," wherein the student draws upon prior knowledge and past experiences to discover new information or skills (Burke, Lawrence, El-Sayed, & Apple, 2009, p.36).
There are many different principles that make this a very effective aspect of the educational system. First, the information presented must be meaningful to the student. This is important because the need for meaning is basic to the human...
Education must provide a similar environment in which the brain can function: providing a safe, nurturing environment while also offering challenges (Caine & Caine, 1990, p.67). Each student, however, brings to the classroom with him his own unique perspective and knowledge background. In this respect, each brain has its own unique makeup, even the aspects that we share with all others like basic emotions (Caine & Caine, 1990, p.69). Students should be presented with sufficient variety in learning processes for each one to find something to which they can relate.
The brain does not merely focus on one single thing at a time to the exclusion of all others. Rather, it processes many different levels and functions at the same time, from simple health processes to more intensive learning. Because of this, educators must utilize a varied array of teaching methods to stimulate all levels of brain processing activities (Caine & Caine, 1990, p.66). Doing so will enable new neuron connections to develop and…

Demonstrations might comprise doing model problems or offering a model finished at the stage of performance anticipated. The structures supplied may be in the shape of grading criterion, rubrics, or exhibited assignment actions. Cognitive modeling is supportive in supplying learning and problem solving strategies to students. It comprises the teacher going through the processes while carrying out a task.

Establishing Consultation and Collaboration in a School Calgary Public School Board has hired a resource teacher for an elementary/junior high school, which has 16 teachers and 325 students i.e. 150 and 175 students at elementary and junior high levels respectively. The school principal has indicated his desire to create some form of consultation and collaboration in the school. While the school has in the past referred students with special needs
391). This, Vindovich (2002) both acknowledges the difference between traditional and distance education and validates this type of education as having the same academics as traditional education. Although studying distance education in terms of quality and quality comparison with classroom education is valid, another approach to determining whether distance education is of the same quality as classroom education is up to the students. Programs and teachers can influence school quality, but
Teaching Special Education Students In the classroom, teachers are primarily responsible for ensuring that special education students are provided with equal opportunities for education. While instructors should not lower academic standards in the classroom, they should make every effort to make reasonable accommodations for students with disabilities. By making simple adjustments, such as allowing students to record lectures or changing the format of a test, teachers can make sure that special
Pedagogic Model for Teaching of Technology to Special Education Students Almost thirty years ago, the American federal government passed an act mandating the availability of a free and appropriate public education for all handicapped children. In 1990, this act was updated and reformed as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, which itself was reformed in 1997. At each step, the goal was to make education more equitable and more accessible to
