Neural DownshiftingControlling the learning environment so as to keep students’ brains engaged in higher order thinking
Enriched EnvironmentsModifying the classroom’s physical and social/emotional attributes to enhance attention, effort, persistence, and achievement
Practice Improving recall and application through skillful rehearsal, repetition, drill, study, and review

satisfaction that comes from successfully applying one’s
talents to a difficult task.
