Dual coding notes allows students to process in multiple modalities. @TheCTTL @CollegiateRVA

[Meg Dalrymple Evans @mpdalrymple]

@TheCTTL MBE Strategy #7-give feedback that is understandable, specific, and applicable to future assignments. @CollegiateRVA

Just Googling something isn't a viable approach because the working memory can't handle so much new information and do anything meaningful with it. @TheCTTL @CollegiateRVA

[Meg Dalrymple Evans @mpdalrymple]

@TheCTTL MBE Strategy #6-create scaffolding to support students' working memory. Then, pull back that support as the long term memory grows. @TheCTTL @CollegiateRVA

[Meg Dalrymple Evans @mpdalrymple]

@TheCTTL MBE Strategy #5-coach students to effectively test their knowledge and understanding through low stakes formative assessments. @TheCTTL @CollegiateRVA

[Meg Dalrymple Evans @mpdalrymple]

The struggle of asking students to recall information that they are just starting to forget is what makes the info eventually stick. @TheCTTL @CollegiateRVA

[Meg Dalrymple Evans @mpdalrymple]

@TheCTTL MBE Strategy #4- create space and time for students to learn and then revisit material. @TheCTTL @CollegiateRVA

[Meg Dalrymple Evans @mpdalrymple]
