Notes from the episode


Shape what our students do and what they think in the most efficient ways possible.
—Peter Felten

Learning results from what the student does and thinks and only from what the student does and thinks. The teacher can advance learning only by influencing what the student does to learn. (from How Learning Works by Ambrose et al., 2010, p. 1)

Five Things Students Need to Do:

  1. Time
  2. Effort
  3. Feedback
  4. Practice
  5. Reflect

    6. Three Things Students Need to Think/Feel:

    1. “I belong here.”
    2. “I can learn this.”
    3. “I find this meaningful.”
