Three principles for learning

By Shawn. Filed in Knowledge.

My wife, Sheenagh, went to a conference on literacy last week. She's a primary school teacher and teaches a 1st grade class. One the speakers, David Hornsby, said there were three principles you should keep in mind when helping children to learn.

  • Move from the heart to the head
  • Move from the meaningful to the abstract
  • Move from the known to the unknown

Great principles for any learning initiative at any age.
