Use these neuroscience-backed strategies for lasting educational impact.

Great article Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd. As reflective and evaluative educators, this makes me rethink what we are reflecting on. Are we reflecting on how our learning design builds connection/s? Are we reflecting on how our design of learning creates a web of knowledge? How much do we know about how our learners learn, and what are we intentionally and responsively doing about that? https://lnkd.in/gGYzWmT4

Can going old-school in education methods help us learn better? Sweden's education system is embracing traditional methods like physical textbooks and handwriting, moving away from digital tools. This is a great article by Jared Cooney Horvath, PhD, MEd, that explains the reasons behind the decision and how we can train our brains to learn better. Here are our top 3 takeaways from the article: 1. Empathy Boosts Learning: Strong student-teacher relationships enhance learning much more than digital tools. Empathy releases oxytocin, which helps with better learning. 2. Memorisation Matters: To think creatively and critically, you need to deeply learn and remember information. Just having access to facts isn’t enough. 3. Focus is Key: Digital multitasking hurts learning. Focusing on single tasks like reading physical books improves comprehension and retention.

Then, binding the hoop together for "all our relations,"Four Arrows recommends re-acquaintance with Nature.  https://lnkd.in/gbUknNFJ #education #indigenouswisdom
