What's in the Concept Keys Project for your students?
Small units of information improve learning outcomes for students:
- Students apply the Keys to themselves and like improving themselves more.
- Students learn more when presented with small "micro-lessons." Daily Keys are easily understood.
- Students retain more when the Keys are processed a little at a time. Memorizing five basic Keys each week is easyespecially when supported by enjoyable team activities in class.
- Students become more skillful with the understanding of more options and details. As more details and options are understood, behavioral choices made by students are better.
Whats in the Concept Keys Project for teachers?
The CK Project offers you these outcomes:
- Your students will know more about a specific complex concept that you select in addition to learning the breadth of your course--without significantly increasing demands on their time. A Key micro-lesson takes less than two minutes to process and arrives right on each students computer each day. Students are exposed to the fundamentals slowly and learn and retain more information.
- Your students will gain greater skill. Skills increase in direct relationship to the increase in knowledge of details and options regarding complex concepts.
- Your students will have greater affect toward the class. Students are pleased with the e-mail delivery system and the small Keys and they love the enjoyable in-class activities.
What are some of the enjoyable, fun, effective in-class activities?
Many activities are student team-based contests designed to enhance student memorization, understanding, or application of the fundamental Keys delivered each week. You may want to change activities each week to keep the stimulation and interest of the students high. Students determine most winners; you determine grade points. Here are just a few of over 60 exciting and effective learning activities:
