Kagan, 2004

Sensing people pay close attention to data provided by their senses -- immediate experience, literal facts, and close realities.

Action Is What Drives Them

Intuitive people need to find associations and connections among things and are interested in theories and imagined possibilities.

Meaning Is What Drives Them

Thinking people prefer logic and orderly, analytic, and objective thinking.

Structure Is What Drives Them  Feeling People prefer subjective thinking connected with human values

and harmony. Caring Is What Drives Them Carl Jung

Edgar Dale, Audio-Visual Methods in Teaching (3rd Ed.) Holt, Reinhardt and Wilson (1969)

1 minute - think about a time when you were actively engaged in learning and identify 3 words to describe your experience.

3 minutes - Pair up with your shoulder partner and share your 3 words. Identify one Ah- Ha for use at your next staff meeting. Record on your reflection log.

Processing: The brain is a parallel processor. It can perform several activities at once.

Engagement: Learning engages the whole body & mind: movement, food, attention cycles, and chemicals all influence learning. 

Meaning: The search for meaning is innate – it requires more than just information.

Emotions: Emotions are critical. These drive our attention, meaning and memory.

Community: The brain is social. It develops better in concert with other brains.

Environment: Complex learning is enhanced by challenge and inhibited by stress.
