As we move into distance learning, our students need effective strategies to support their learning. Research has identified effective strategies... but few students use them. Help your students learn about effective study strategies, reflect on their own habits, and practice making observations based on data/graphs.

Use online resources (linked in the document) to learn about brain-based and research backed strategies, then used the two included Google Forms to collect data on which of six scientifically backed learning strategies your students use or plan to use, make observations about the class results, and reflect on their own learning.

Strategies:

Retrieval Practice

Interleaving

Spaced Practice

Elaboration

Concrete Examples

Dual Coding

Includes:

• Google Doc with lesson plan suggestions
• Tips and instructions for using and modifying Google Forms
• Two Google Forms: Brain Based Learning Data Collection and Brain Based Learning Reflection
