What
we do
Neuroscience and cognitive psychology research are beginning to
provide insights into the domains of teaching and learning.
- Where are the intersections?
- How might we translate the findings into
relevant, applicable ideas for consideration?
- What learning strategies emerge, with
what methods of instruction?
Primary Questions
- How can I frame” (design) the learning
circumstance or activity so that it INVITES ALL learners to get
involved, to participate?
- How can I design the learning experience
such that it will CAUSE learners to process, to do the work required
for sustained learning and recall to take place?
- How do I engineer tasks that create opportunities
for multiple PATHWAYS to be formed (connections made) for integrated
learning, application, and recall?
Greenleaf Learning is dedicated to reviewing current
research and creating literature with an eye toward purposeful applications
to learning. Some cornerstones of focus are in the areas of:
- Instructional Strategies to Engage All Learners
- Safe Learning Environments
- Frameworks to Engage Long-Term Memory and Recall
Structures
- Considerations Across the Five Natural Learning
Systems: Cognitive, Emotional, Social, Physical, and Reflective
