As stated in my last blog, teachers need to meet the needs of all students in the classroom. Each student in the class brings different skills, needs, and preferences of learning. Neuroscience splits learning into three categories.

 

 

First, the "what" of learning is how we gather facts and categorize what they hear, see, and read.

 

 

Examples of recognition skills would include, identifying letters, or an author's style.

Second, the "how" of learning is planning and performing tasks.

 

 

For example, writing an essay or solving a math problem. These are strategic network skills.

Third, the "why" of learning is how to get engaged and stay motivated.

 

For example, how they are challenged, excited, or interested. They are all affective dimensions.
