ENGAGEE1 - Every brain is unique and students differ in how
well they can control their attention and what engaged
their attention.
E2 - An “approach response” in the brain can be
stimulated by rewards such as praise and tokens
acknowledging achievement, novelty, provision of choice
and sharing attention.
E3 - Fearfulness can avert attention, and anxiety
reduces the brain’s ability to process information.
E4 - The brain is “plastic“, and both teacher and student
have an important role constructing its function,
connectivity and structure.

BUILD
B1 - to be meaningful and lasting, new knowledge
must build on prior knowledge. A child’s developing
brain requires more support in making connections to
prior knowledge.
B2 - Clear, concise instruction and minimizing
distraction can aid communication and student
understanding of new knowledge by reducing
unnecessary load on working memory.
B3 - Our Mirror Neuron System helps us read each
other’s minds. We communicate understanding and
emotions (e.g. confidence and enthusiasm) both
consciously and unconsciously.

C1 - Rehearsal of freshly-learnt knowledge and
understanding causes it to become automatically
accessible. This frees up the brain’s limited capacity to
pay conscious attention – ready for further learning.
C2 - Applying knowledge (especially in new
situations), linking between different representations of
it, enacting, discussing or expressing it in new forms –
all help us store knowledge in different ways – making
it easier to recall and use it.
C3 - A good night’s sleep helps us attend to today’s
learning but also makes yesterday’s learning more
permanent.
