PARTICIPANT ACTIVITY
Alone or with a partner or two select or create a
DEND-WRITE prompt for your challenge lesson.
9
We learn 40 of what we hear, 60 of what we
hear and see, and 80 of what we hear, see, and
do
10
Children gain understanding when they construct
their own knowledge. They develop
ownership of new information and their brains
change (plasticity) with multiple restimulations.
11
Communicate and use the knowledge repeatedly
over time and in different situations
12
Neurons that fire together, wire
together plasticity

Multisensory Instruction Multiple pathways
(cross-brain referencing) A variety of cues
greater likelihood of memory retrieval.
17
INCREASE SUPPLY Computer-based training in
visual-spatial and working memory improves
executive functions, memory, impulsivity, in
children including those with ADHD.
18
The trained children improved in executive
attention and intelligence testing. Event-
related potentials 4-year olds had patterns
similar to untrained 6-year olds, and the trained
6-year olds showed a more adult-like neuronal
response. (Rueda, Rothbart, McCandliss,
Saccamanno, and Posner, 2005)

Mental Manipulation by recognizing patterns
making associations Similarities and
differences Put data into Categories Analogies
Graphic Organizers
20
Mental Manipulation Similarities and
Differences Animal Survival RAS recognition of
changes in the expected environment Humans also
remember information by identifying similarities
and differences.
21
Identify similarities and differences a
relational memory strategy Sort by
categories/characteristics Generalize
concepts Graphic organizers such as Venn
Diagrams
22
Pattern data into categories Categorizing
reinforces the concept, not just isolated facts,
and builds neural networks.
23
Try this categorizing activity as if you are the
students.
24
Ill give examples and non-examples of a concept
and you make silent independent predictions as to
what category or concept the items share. After
I say yes or no about whether the example I
gave fits the concept (category), you write down
the word I said on paper that already has a Yes
and a No column.
25
Make 2 Columns YES NO
26
Ill say an example and when I say Yes or No
you write the example in that column

28
If you are ready to identify the category first
see if you can make the correct silent
predictions for the next few examples.

30
The person in your group with the first letter of
his/her first name nearest the beginning of the
alphabet is the teacher, or can select a
teacher.
31
If your categorization is correct tell your
groups teacher another example (rather than
saying the concept). If he/she tells you your
example is correct, add a few more items that
fit to your list. When more folks at your
table give examples that are the teacher says are
correct, separate from the group, discuss your
additions, and see if you all agree. When
ready, collaborate and write the commonality and
why the examples fit.
32
Class sharing students add to their notes
33
Conclusion-Groups Report What is the
commonality? What characteristics do the
animals in the Yes column have in common?
34
All the animals that fit the category are mammals
because they have fur, bear young alive, and
produce milk.
35
Analogies are simple patterns that strengthen
relational memories for long-term memory
36

breathing and eating for people. Exercising my
muscles makes me stronger, like reading makes me
smarter.

EMOTION AND THE PREFRONTAL CORTEX
PFC activity on fMRI scans is influenced by
emotion. Positive emotion and low stress
increase PFC activity, learning, and memory.

Each time children focus their attention they are
activating the brains alerting and focusing
pathways. This repeated stimulation of these
pathways constructs stronger neural circuits

What Can Help Students Reduce PFC Static?
50
Emotional processing describing and later
reflecting their feelings strengthens executive
function
51
Self-Regulation and Academic Success Behavior
regulation 4-5 year olds do the opposite of what
the experimenter requested. Touch their heads
when asked to touch their toes and visa versa.
This requires the inhibition of the natural
urge to follow the experimenters commands.
Developed better self-regulation skills
performed better on measures of literacy,
vocabulary, and mathematics.

Wait Time Before responding to students'
comments After asking a question
60
Participant Activity Use wait time and active
listening as you have a small group discussion
about the following question.
61
How often are various cells in the body
replaced? Cornea-every 1-2 days Blood cells
every 120 days Why do you think our brains
havent evolved to replace old neurons
periodically with fresh, new ones?
62
Multiple Perspectives
63
How would the French Revolution have changed
your life if you were in the royal family?
Should we genetically engineer seeds to increase
crops in a time of famine and starvation if we
are not sure of the long term effects?
64

switch Write a dissenting opinion on a Supreme
Court decision with which they agree. Opposite

Differentiated
instruction
68
Communicate high expectations while insuring that
students have the appropriate tools to reach
these goals. The tools and scaffolding are
differentiated, but the goals remain high.
THE BARRIERS ARE LOWERED,
NOT THE BAR!
69
Help kids know how their brains turn data into
knowledge
70
I imaging neurons making connections in my
brain when I study and I feel like Im learning
something Every time I think of not
studying I think, no, my brain wont form new
connections.
71
Every time that my brain learns new
things it forms new connections and I get
smarter. I feels good to think my brain
growth is in my power. Every time I think
of not studying I think, no, my brain wont form
new connections.

Oligodendrocyte
Oligodendrocyte or Oligo lays down new myelin

• PRUNING EFFICIENCY
• FASTER COMMUNICATION - LESS EXTRANEOUS DETOURS
• MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK 3 LB BRAIN USES 20 OF
  BODYS NUTRIENTS AND OXYGEN
• MYELINATION - FASTER, MORE DURABLE

77
Maturation seen as pruning occurs last in the
prefrontal cortex. Executive functions are last
to develop - well past teen years
78
The above composite MRI brain images show the
advancing pruning and thinning of unused networks
and the increases in myelination (blue) in
remaining networks. This myelination enhances
transmission efficiency of the unpruned pathways.
The process begins in the occipital (posterior)
regions and doesnt near completion in the
prefrontal cortex until well into the 20s.

Concentrate on the cross in the middle, after a
while you will notice the moving purple dot will
turn green!
Look at the cross a bit longer and all dots
except the green one will disappear.
