Through our Building Block methodology, part of the Structural Learning toolkit, students can physically construct their understanding of complex concepts, promoting deeper comprehension and engagement.
This strand of your toolkit recognizes that when students physically engage with curriculum material, they form deeper connections and better retain information.
Understand: By constructing their own learning structures, students can visualize and understand how different concepts interconnect.
Communicate: This process of building and explaining their creations strengthens communication skills, helping students articulate ideas more clearly.
Engage: This approach integrates the mind, body, and environment. They're tools for empowering your students to become active, engaged learners.
Extended Cognition in Action
This approach brings learning to life by connecting thinking with physical action. Students do, move, and interact with concepts, making learning more engaging and memorable.
