This module takes into consideration the holistic nature of individual student learning and the most effective practices for helping them develop into independent and responsible learners. With this whole learner perspective, teachers are able to help learners become responsible for their own learning in school and in life.
The module touches on each of these topics and provides evidence-based instructional practices along with suggested ways to draw from the other modules in this series. It offers related insights from:
- Cognitive neuroscience, including recent brain study findings.
- Inquiry-based learning approaches.
- Blended learning with instructional technology, gaming and digital learning research.
This set of resources provides tools for what teachers of all age groups can do to inspire natural curiosity, creativity and autonomous lifelong learning.
