Show Notes
-
00:48The value of making learning activePassively reading a textbook is insufficient for knowledge retention. Instead, engaging with the material through summarizing, taking practice quizzes, and creating one-pagers based on your understanding of the material can significantly improve recall.
-
05:13Making learning socialSocial learning is important for teenagers, and research shows that involving peers in the learning process enhances understanding, retention, and connection-making. Group projects or studying with friends facilitate deeper learning experiences with teenagers.
-
07:11Making learning personalBy connecting learning to students' interests and experiences, educators can enhance engagement and deepen understanding across various subjects. This approach fosters intrinsic motivation and makes the experience more enjoyable for the learner.
-
10:35Practicing self advocacyThe ability to articulate one's needs, concerns, and goals clearly and respectfully is essential. Students must be able to ask teachers for additional study materials or clarification on assignments to improve and achieve academic success.
Quotes
-
"If you read a chapter in a textbook and get asked some questions about it the next day, you're going to recall about 20% of what you read. If you create a one-pager summarizing what you read, recall goes up to 85-90%." - Shahar Link
-
"Teenagers are social, especially in learning. If you add one or two people to the process of learning something, as opposed to doing it on your own, they're going to learn and remember more." - Shahar Link
-
"Learning becomes so much stickier if you can make some personal connection to it. If the teacher does that, it's easier. But if the teacher doesn't do it, the family can help do this." - Shahar Link
-
"The earlier kids start practicing self-advocacy, and doing it politely, the better. It could mean asking a teacher for more study material, resources to better understand a topic, or even a chance to retake a test." - Shahar Link
-
"Even if all you could get your children to do is go to the teacher and say, can I talk to you for five minutes, and even if it's super awkward, that is much better than doing it for them." - Shahar Link
