Creative Activities & Ideas on a Shoe String Budget

Active learning

Active Learning adds a grade and a half to achievement.

Professors John Hattie and Robert Marzano’s findings show that, for the best active methods, if you put a student in the experimental group, then on average, they will do more than a grade and a half better than if they had been placed in the control group.

The 3-Stage Technique for Effective LearningBased on Geoff Petty’s work on effective

recall (Teaching Today).Each recall fixes the learning more firmly in

the LTM.

Left and Right Brain Functions
