Hands-On, Minds-On Learning

Through our Building Block methodology, part of the Structural Learning toolkit, students can physically construct their understanding of complex concepts, promoting deeper comprehension and engagement.

Building Blocks to Deeper Understanding

This strand of your toolkit recognizes that when students physically engage with curriculum material, they form deeper connections and better retain information.

Understand: By constructing their own learning structures, students can visualize and understand how different concepts interconnect.

Communicate: This process of building and explaining their creations fosters communication skills, enhancing their ability to articulate ideas.

Engage: This approach integrates the mind, body, and environment. They're tools for empowering your students to become active, engaged learners.

Extended Cognition in Action

This powerful approach brings learning to life by connecting cognitive processes with physical experiences. It's not just about thinking - it's about doing, moving, and interacting, making learning more engaging and memorable for your students.
