    Challenges in Teaching

    1. Multicultural classrooms
    2. Learner-centered teaching
    3. Multi-grade classes
    4. ICT integration
    5. Brain-based education

    Brain-based learning is essentially lesson plans and teaching methods that reflect the
    findings of how the brain learns best. Brain-based learning is, “a paradigm of learning
    which addresses student learning and learning outcomes from the point of view of the
    human brain.” Teachers use research and implement teaching methods that have been
    designed specifically for the best retention and growth results.

    Methods for brain-based learning can be something as simple as just getting the students
    out of their chairs and walking around the classroom to activate brain stimulation. Many
    activities in the arts like listening to music or drawing can also be very effective ways to
    implement brain-based learning.

    Brain-based learning is not one size fits all. Different brain-based learning activities work
    better for different students. Some teachers might worry that brain-based learning won’t
    work in their classroom because they can’t do an assessment of each student to know
    what activity is best for them as an individual. Marcia emphasizes that there is no need for
    any pre-assessment of your students, just observe students as the school year begins to
    pick up on their habits or interests. Much of the brain research has been general and fits
    the needs for basic brain stimulation of the human being.

    Options of Methods

    1. Drawing/art
    After reading an excerpt from a book or article, teachers can have students draw how that
    part of the text made them feel or connect colors to certain emotions throughout the text.

    2. Discussion
    Having a class discussion not only helps with social behavior but teaches students how to
    be respectful and accurately create and support an argument.

    3. Technology
    Technology can be used in many different creative ways. A common way to incorporate
    technology into brain-based learning is to have students participate in partial online
    lessons to create independence and curiosity within a student.

    4. Movement
    Take a movement minute! Get students up out of their seats and get the blood pumping to
    their brain to enhance focus and overall mood.

    5. Storytelling
    Storytelling helps students to tap into their creative and imaginative side. Have students
    write in a journal every day for 30 mins to enhance writing skills and creativity.
    6. Making/listening to music
    Music can be a significant factor in creativity, memory, behavior, and learning. Certain
    types of music stimulate different parts of the brain that can be beneficial during learning.

    6. Multiple intelligences

    7. Children with special needs
