Brain-Based Learning Tenets of Engagement
• Feedback is best when it comes from reality rather than from an authority figure
• People learn best when solving realistic problems
• The big picture cannot be separated from the details
• Because every brain is different, educators should allow learners to customize their own environments
Student Engagement
• Enhance students’ self-belief
• Enable students to work autonomously, enjoy learning relationships with others, and feel they are competent to achieve their own objectives
• Recognize that teaching and teachers are central to engagement
• Create learning that is active, collaborative, and fosters learning relationships
• Create educational experiences for students that are challenging and enriching and that extend their academic abilities
• Ensure that institutional cultures are welcoming to students from diverse backgrounds
• Invest in a variety of support services
• Adapt to changing student expectations
• Enable students to become active citizens
• Enable students to develop their social and cultural capital
