The importance of play into learning and boosting confidence

from The Clara James Approach to learning · host Dawn Strachan

There's a few things that I'm opinionated on and the importance of making learning fun and relevant comes very high up on that list.When I started studying supporting different learning styles over 25 years ago, one of the things I learned was the importance of creating multiple memories so that it is easier to recall the information when it is needed. Although it was obvious, it wasn't something I had ever given much thought to.But I also firmly believe that the way we learn is unique to each of us as individuals. We all come to the table with difference life experiences, understandings, opinions. I look at my brother and I, we are both so, so different. I look at my 3 children, again they are so different to each other. If in a small sample of 5 everyone is different, how can we expect a class of 30 or more to learn the same way. We need to adapt and address the needs of everyone, not just the majority, or the majority of the class the year before.I will stop rambling now, but I hope if you listen to this podcast it gives you something to think about.
