Experienced teachers are familiar with the complaint "I read it but I didn't get it." This is true at most levels, from the average student to students taking advanced placement classes.This is also true despite the millions of dollars spent by textbook companies to make content appealing to the student. There are ways for teachers to address this need without adjusting content.
The Physiology of Learning
On several occasions over the past ten years, Dr. Gail Donahue, the Administrator for Professional Development at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney Maryland, has gone through the physical process of learning. Hundreds of teachers have benefitted from her insight.
Dr. Donahue's ideas are based on extensive research that indicates students receive new material through the "front" of the brain, and that most knowledge is quickly stored in the "back" of the brain. This stored knowledge can be recalled, but only if the student has enough of a "recall trigger." Her advice is to use a variety of oral and physical activities to bring data back to the front of the brain, and then to use the data to formulate concepts.
