Three principles for learning
My wife, Sheenagh, went to a conference on literacy last week. She’s a primary school teacher and teaches a 1st grade class. One the speakers, David Hornsby, said there were three principles you should keep in mind when helping children to learn.
- Move from the heart to the head
- Move from the meaningful to the abstract
- Move from the known to the unknown
Great principles for any learning initiative at any age.

Interesting.
“Move from the heart to the head”
I’d have thought it’s just as necessary for some kids to go the other way, regularly?
