Tap Into Your Learning Potential – Special Replay

Did you know you can tap into your learning potential by understanding how the brain works? Felice Gerwitz and Jessica Parnell, CEO of Bridgeway Academy explain how a parent can benefit from this information.

Thanks to our sponsor! Bridgeway Academy, your solution to online education and help for the homeschool moms.

The brain is creating new neuro-pathways throughout your entire life.  Studies show what parts of the brain are engaging as kids learn. Learning disabilities can be repaired through new neuro-pathways and the science behind education. Homeschool parents especially have the ability to tap into your child’s potential!

Working Memory:

The working memory is a term used for the pre-frontal cortex. It is responsible for conscious thought is highly important for education. This is important for learning for self-control.

  • Making decisions
  • Understanding
  • Recalling
  • Deciding
  • Self-control
  • Memory
  • Imagination

    • By understanding the effects of the brain’s working memory you can tap into your child’s learning potential.

    Every single decision taxes our working memory.
    • Know those energy-sapping subjects for students.
    • Mix up how we use our brain, put in other subjects that are not as taxing
    • Small break replenishes the brain. 5-10 minutes…and add movement…
    • Move! That helps your working memory. Moving the spine sending new electrical signals up to their brain and getting it to think again.

      • Knowing Your Learning Style Helps – Ways to Help Retain Information.

      • Students learn differently
      • Need ways to get information off of working memory so that you can process – getting them off the pre-frontal cortex
      • Write down your information so your working memory is free
      • Developing metaphors, telling stories, engage the emotional side of the brain.

        • Basal Ganglia – Helps Preserve Working Memory

        • Drives habits
        • Things we turn into habits
        • So much more powerful and it does not take so much energy
        • Flashcards – get into basal ganglia becomes instinctive and routine, you are not taxing your brain so you can do more complex challenging tasks
          • Tap Into Your Learning Potential – Does the digital age help?
          • We are becoming dependent on that quick answer to things.
          • We are not developing to skills to see if the answer is correct.
          • Lack of focus and scattered attention span.
          • The social aspect has become difficult – skills learned in interaction are different than sending a text.
