To assist high school students prepare for standardized testing, college level courses and college applications, one-on-one tutoring sessions will be offered that build upon evidence-based practices from neuroscience, psychology, and education. Weekly one-hour sessions scheduled for 3-month periods will actively engage students in activities to enhance learning, memory, retrieval, and test taking. Students will also learn about non-cognitive protective factors that can enhance academic performance including controlling stress levels, spacing out studying plans, the importance of sleep, memory in terms of encoding and retrieval, and the application of Bloom's Taxonomy.]]> 2018-11-11 17:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/crt49/s6vzmv82odki/wish/303011816 Description of Learners crt49 https://padlet.com/crt49/s6vzmv82odki/wish/303012548 The learners are high school juniors and seniors coping with the stress of (a)  taking standardized tests, (b) selecting  colleges to apply to, and (c) completing the applications for potential college.

Therefore, it is important to teach the importance of sleep and how stress works in the body.
b.      After teaching the basics of how hormones work, the student will be given best practices to deal with stress
c.      The student will also understand why sleep is vital to the learning process

A student will have the opportunity to pair up with another student in a collaborative environment where each student can quiz and be quizzed on a variety of topics. These paired study sessions can be completed in person or online.

Group sessions will be available to refresh the understanding of how the brain works, learns and forms memory.

The tutoring center will be open during normal business hours, seven days a week in order to encourage frequent drop in visits so that students can learn at times that best fit their schedules

Encouraging messages and mentorship will be provided to current students by prior students in order to drive motivation and excitement.

Scholarly articles and lecture handouts will be provided to students in an order to further educate themselves beyond what is taught in the tutor setting.

TED talks, available on YouTube, will act as scripted lectures to reinforce lessons taught in group sessions.

Online study sessions between paired students, through the use of Zoom or Skype, will be highly encouraged.

Questions and facts of the day regarding neuroscience of learning and standardized test taking will be published daily and sent via email.

The 3D Brain app will be offered as a good resource to view before, during and after neuroscience lessons

Formative Stage:
Before beginning Module A, the student will go through a pre-assessment phase. The pre-assessment phase consists of taking a practice standardized test in order to evaluate where the student is, score-wise, and the range in which the student can realistically reach. The student will also be given a series of pre-assessments to examine non-cognitive factors such a stress, learning strategies, mindset, study areas to focus on, and goals. After these tests, the student will have a one-on-one conversation with a tutor, where we will evaluate the student's study habits, and how much the student know about the brain, memory and study procedures.

Interim Stages:
After completing each module, the student will be given a quiz to assess the amount of lecture material retained. In order to move onto the next module, a minimum score of 80% needs to be achieved. Tutors will work on areas that the student may have missed in each quiz. Going forward, the student will take a monthly standardized practice test in order to evaluate areas where the student needs to focus his or her attention. We will analyze the data to confirm MBE and training is having positive affects.

Summative Stage:
In this stage, we revisit the pre-assessment testing and match that benchmark to a post-assessment standardized practice test. Once again, we will analyze the data to confirm MBE and training has had positive affects. At this time, the student will have the opportunity to provide us with feedback. After college acceptance and standardized tests are complete, the student will continue to use these study guides and procedures during the remainder of their academic years. ]]> 2018-11-11 18:01:10 UTC https://padlet.com/crt49/s6vzmv82odki/wish/303017307 Expectations & Outcomes crt49 https://padlet.com/crt49/s6vzmv82odki/wish/305536793 The students should come into the course with expectations that differ from an ordinary tutoring experience. After completing these modules, students will be able to: 

1.    Understand general concepts of how the brain works, especially in terms of learning 
2.     Apply methods for successfully engaging memory and achieving academic success that apply to him or her as an individual. 
3.     Use new understanding of how his/her brain works on an individual level and applies it in selecting the right college and field of study
4.     Achieve increased scores on standardized tests

Module C - Memory and Learning crt49 https://padlet.com/crt49/s6vzmv82odki/wish/305545853 Possibly the most important module that will be reiterated throughout the tutoring process.
a.      This lecture series begins by reviewing the stages of Bloom's Taxonomy
  • Knowledge
  • Comprehension
  • Application
  • Analysis
  • Synthesis
  • Evaluation
b.      This is followed up by discussing the memory building process. Clear definitions of perception, encoding, consolidation and retrieval will be presented. 
c.      Memory and its various forms (working, short-term, sensory, long-term, and forgetting) will be introduced and studied in detail.
d.      The student will be given best practices for forming long-term memory.
