10. Developing Deep Knowledge
|
The goal of learning is more that just retaining information it is the the ability to make connections, apply their learning to other areas and contexts, and develop a deeper understanding of the objective. You learn from doing, trying, struggling, not from memorizing facts. Goodwin and Hubbell build off Jensen's work with McReal on the Six Essential C's for Learning. The six C's for learning can provide a rational on the importance of an intentional teacher.
Click on each C for resource.
1. Curiosity (Build curiosity with your students in your hook, make them want more!)
2. Connection (Connect new and prior knowledge with your students, build off what they already know.)
3. Coherence (Help spell out the connections with your students and the big picture.)
4. Concentration (Give your students times to absorb the new information given to time.)
5. Coaching (Give your students live coaching and feedback, help guide them in the right direction.)
6. Context (Apply what you taught them to their lives, how can they use this in their lives?)
