ENGAGEE1 - Every brain is unique and students differ in how

well they can control their attention and what engaged

their attention.

E2 - An “approach response” in the brain can be

stimulated by rewards such as praise and tokens

acknowledging achievement, novelty, provision of choice

and sharing attention.

E3 - Fearfulness can avert attention, and anxiety

reduces the brain’s ability to process information.

E4 - The brain is “plastic“, and both teacher and student

have an important role constructing its function,

connectivity and structure.

BUILD

B1 - to be meaningful and lasting, new knowledge

must build on prior knowledge. A child’s developing

brain requires more support in making connections to

prior knowledge.

B2 - Clear, concise instruction and minimizing

distraction can aid communication and student

understanding of new knowledge by reducing

unnecessary load on working memory.

B3 - Our Mirror Neuron System helps us read each

other’s minds. We communicate understanding and

emotions (e.g. confidence and enthusiasm) both

consciously and unconsciously.

C1 - Rehearsal of freshly-learnt knowledge and

understanding causes it to become automatically

accessible. This frees up the brain’s limited capacity to

pay conscious attention – ready for further learning.

C2 - Applying knowledge (especially in new

situations), linking between different representations of

it, enacting, discussing or expressing it in new forms –

all help us store knowledge in different ways – making

it easier to recall and use it.

C3 - A good night’s sleep helps us attend to today’s

learning but also makes yesterday’s learning more

permanent.
