Over the last twenty years, research on the effects of teacher inquiry on classroom practice has supported the use of reflective practices by teachers. Teacher learning circles, communities of practice and teacher journals are all examples of the reflective process used to improve teacher skills. This Reflections page will support your personal inquiry (reflections) of the impact of the workshop as it relates to your past and future instructional strategies as you begin to integrate accelerative learning practices into your teaching skill set. (Ermeling, Blradley A." Tracing the Effects of Teacher Inquiry on Classroom Practice," Journal of Teaching and Teacher Education, v.26 (2010) 377-388.)
This Accelerative Learning workshop will support each one of you by giving you the tools to deliver increased student success in the upcoming school year. You will acquire the use of 11 different research-based models of learning, including Dr. Lozanov’s newest “Seven Laws of Suggestopedia”, Dr. Gardner’s “9 Intelligences”, Dr. Canfield’s “7 Psychological Objectives”, Dr. Krashen’s “Knowledge Acquisition”, Dr. Asher’s “Total Physical Response” and many more.
In addition, you will learn how these research-based techniques will create a student-centered classroom, one where each student taps into their 9 processing styles and their 7 psychological objectives to maximize their ability to learn effortlessly.
To assist with your leaning process, you will use this page to respond to questions posted by your instructional team throughout the workshop.
