What are we 'learning about learning'?
In Ron Ritchhart's last visit, he explained to us that our brains need to retrieve information at least two to three times in order for us to learn. ie. to commit it to longer term memory. The act of sharing our BTSN ideas/plans three times had this principle of learning in mind. In addition, each time we repeated our plan, we reformed our ideas as we heard feedback from our peer or made new connections in the act of speaking it aloud. Please try it out with your learners.
