Explaining Learning
Based on the information in this week’s required reading from the text (Carey, 2014), develop a tool to explain learning theory to your students and/or their parents. Make the writing accessible to the age/audience you are addressing.
You have several choices to make in this discussion board post:
- Identify your focus audience—students of a particular age, parents, or, if you are not a classroom teacher, some other group of constituents or professionals.
- Determine what product you would like to create. The possibilities are open, but could include materials such as:
- A lesson plan for a lesson about how we learn that you might like to do with your students at the beginning of the year
- A welcome letter, handout, or brochure for parents explaining how learning theory is informing your pedagogy for the year
- A visual that you have created to present information about learning to your staff or colleagues (particularly appropriate if you are not a classroom teacher)
- A video that explains learning for your students
Your submission should include:
- A short explanation of what you have created and why you chose to make that particular tool (this can be a short discussion board post separate from the actual product)
- The actual product you will use with students, parents, or colleagues
Support your statements with evidence from the required studies and your research. Cite and reference your sources in APA style.
