Research has shown that deeper learning will take place when students can tie new knowledge to prior knowledge. One cannot expect deep learning when the first exposure to new concepts is through only a lecture or simply passive reading. Students must engage with content to start forming mental models.

The strategy I picked up at the Prep School arranges learning in an order that helps to create prior knowledge thus allowing for deeper connections during lectures.

This week, we are going to take a closer look at this learning and teaching strategy. I will breakdown the necessary steps and highlight why each is important.
