#1 Tip to Increase Retention: Modeling

 
 

How to Remember What You Learn: Modeling

Retention is a cornerstone of our focus  we’re organizing our lessons and even when we’re thinking about structuring the questions that we’re asking during a lesson. It is one of our top priorities when it comes to providing the best education that we can.

What is retention?

Retention is the ability to hold onto information and I frequently say that, even if you knew all of the information in the world and the secret to happiness, what does it matter if you can’t hold onto that. So, my job as an instructor is to get you to retain that information.

Tip #1: show; don't just tell.

I make sure that I model exactly what I want the student to do. Sometimes just watching me do the thing that I’m asking them to do makes the kid go: “oh! That’s what you want me to do?” Yes! Let’s get rid of all the noise; let’s get rid of all the possible misconceptions. It’s a waste of time.
