Tips to share with your members about homeschooling
Now that many states and provinces have officially ended the school year, credit union members have one more worry on their plate—teaching from home.
We learned a lot when we were creating our lesson plans, namely that children respond to different styles of teaching, and teachers use several methods to achieve the highest retention:
Children respond differently to listening, watching, or physically interacting during a lesson
Teachers use 7 teaching methods to ensure retention; speaking, reading, audio-visual, demonstration, discussion, practice doing and teaching each other
Children (well, all of us, really) are living in the strangest time. Incorporating ways to destress could be vital to any learning plan.
Learning does not happen in one natural way but in lots of ways.
