Final Reflection Review
During the duration of this course I have received numerous amounts of information related to how the brain learns and instructional methods that increase the brain’s ability to absorb information. As an educator, it is important that the instructor is fluent in the subject area in which they instruct students. In order to become an effective educator one must indulge themselves in material related to the subject area through developing a clear understanding of the material. Most importantly, the instructor must understand that only the material but how to best instruct the material in a manner in which the student can effectively absorb. The foundation of learning begins with understanding how the brain learns and …show more content…
Next, the first 10 to 15 minutes of class time are the most active a student’s brain will be during class. During this time is when the teacher should implement any new material or information related to chapter material. Students will learn and retain more information during this period so this time should be utilized wisely by the teacher.

When an individual is learning to read, they will ask themselves is there an understanding of what I see, what does it look like, and how does it sound to determine what they are reading. Phonological awareness is one of the first aspects an individual learns following birth, which is related to recognizing oral language heard in an occupied area.

The degree to which children experience literacy at home determines whether they begin school not just able to learn to read, but are also ready to learn to read (Sousa, 2011). The more exposer a student or young learner has to words on and over their grade level the more improvements will be made in their reading abilities. For teachers, helping expose students to more words through reading verbally to students and defining words to provide meaning are some key factors in helping students improve their reading abilities. The impact of arts on student learning and behavior is another important concept on improving how well a student learns. Areas such as listening, creating, and reading music along with drawing and utilizing hands to create art are some of the areas
