TIP OF THE MONTH

Find the flow

 

As my son's 4th grade teacher reminded me last night at Parents' Night, "learning should be just a little uncomfortable."

 

The concept, introduced by Hungarian professor, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, suggests that students are most engaged when a task is neither too easy nor too difficult. 

 

To keep things fresh for ourselves, as trainers and teachers, we must also find our "flow," a balance between arousal and control -- keeping things fun and energized!
 


TOY OF THE MONTH

Encourage fidgeting

 

Give your group a boost by keeping the mood light in your training rooms.  By keeping stress levels low, learners will be able to absorb more new material.  During multi-day sessions, keep it fresh, by swapping in new fiddles at the start of each day.
