support learning by attending to the emotional,
physical needs, styles and preferences of learners.
Step 1 - Mix-when the music starts move

Visual Learners -generally think in terms of pictures and
prefer to see things written down in a handout, text or on the
overhead. They find maps, graphs, charts, and other visual
learning tools to be extremely effective. They remember things
best by seeing something written.
Auditory Learners - learn best by listening. They typically like
to learn through lectures, discussions, and reading aloud. They
remember best through hearing or saying items aloud.
Kinesthetic Learners - learn best through touching, feeling, and
experiencing that which they are trying to learn. They
remember best by writing or physically manipulating the
information.

Sensing people pay close attention to data provided by their senses -- immediate
experience, literal facts, and close realities.
Action Is What Drives Them
Intuitive people need to find associations and connections among things and are
interested in theories and imagined possibilities.
Meaning Is What Drives Them
Thinking people prefer logic and orderly, analytic, and objective thinking.
Structure Is What Drives Them
Feeling People prefer subjective thinking connected with human values and harmony.
Caring Is What Drives Them

Carl Jung
 Select
one style that represents you
 Move to the poster with that style’s name
 Identify a recorder, facilitator, time keeper,
and reporter
 Round robin share responses to the 4
questions (2 minutes per question)
 Recorder write responses; Facilitator make
sure everyone has a chance to share; time
keeper watch time, and reporter share
findings with large group at end.
 Introverts enjoy generating energy and ideas from internal
sources, such as brainstorming, personal reflection and theoretical
exploration.
 Extroverts enjoy teaching others how to solve a problem,
collaborative/group work and problem-based learning.
 Perceivers prefer to keep their options open, they like flexibility,
and the opportunity to process new information.
 Judgers prefer order and structure, which is why they tend to plan
out activities and schedules very carefully.

The brain is a complex adaptive system.
The brain is a social brain.
The search for meaning is innate.
The search for meaning occurs through patterning.
Emotions are critical to patterning.
Every brain simultaneously perceives and creates parts and
wholes.
Learning involves both focused attention and peripheral
attention.
Learning always involves conscious and unconscious processes.
We have at least two ways of organizing memory.
Learning is developmental.
Complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by
threat.
Every brain is uniquely organized.

(Runner Get Placemat)
 Put placemat in the center of the group;
 Individually Review the 12 Mind/Brain Learning Principles
 Each member of your team select one principle (have
each member select a different principle)
 On your placemat have each person write the principle at
the top of his/her corner.
 Then take one minute and write down implications for
teaching and instruction.
 Rotate the placemat to the right until your original
writing comes back to you.
 Round Robin Share one Ah-Ha or idea for your
principle (30 seconds each)

 Orchestrated
immersion–Creating learning
environments that fully immerse students in an
educational experience
 Relaxed alertness–Trying to eliminate fear in
learners, while maintaining a highly challenging
environment
 Active processing–Allowing the learner to
consolidate and internalize information by
actively processing it

1 minute - think about a time when you were
actively engaged in learning, which conditions of
learning were present, and write down 3 words
to describe your experience.
3 minutes (each) - Pair up with your shoulder
partner, share the conditions of learning that
were present and your 3 words: describe what
they look, sound, and feel like in action.
1 Minute Quick Write -Identify one Ah- Ha

 This
section will take us briefly into an A&P
Class;
 The class is just beginning a new unit.
 I am using a few slides from Holes Anatomy
to model how you can use slides from your
series to create note taking tools.
 We will use some of the same structures we
just experienced with a content twist.
 Let’s Play!
Anatomy – study of structure
Physiology – study of function
Structure is always related to function

•Albert Einstein’s weighed (2.71 lbs), significantly less then
the human average.
•is about 2% of your total body weight but uses 20% of
your body's energy
•Generates more electrical impulses in one day than by all
the telephones in the world.
•Acts as a control center by receiving, interpreting, and
directing sensory information throughout the body.
•Has over100 billion neurons, the same number of stars in
our galaxy.
•In an adult weighs approximately 3 lbs.
•The left side has 186 million more neurons than the right.

 The
cerebrum is divided into two sides the
left and the right hemispheres.
 The cerebrum consists of four lobes: Frontal
Lobe, Parietal Lobe, Temporal Lobe, and the
Occipital Lobe.
 The gray matter of the cerebrum is all
located on the most peripheral edges of it,
with the white matter underneath.
 The gray matter is called the cerebral cortex
 It contains 75% of all neurons in nervous
system.
• interpretation
• initiating voluntary movements
• storing memory
• retrieving memory
• reasoning
• center for intelligence and personality
