Super-Charged Learning: How Wacky Thinking and Sports Psychology Make it Happen

Autor Richard J. Giordano
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 8 dec 2014
Anyone wishing to improve his/her learning will benefit from Super-Charged Learning, but it is especially intended for parents of K-12 children. What parents know about their children is what should make them critical players for their children. Knowing how to apply life-experiences to learning is what Super-Charged Learning is about. Parents know their children's experiences and can show them how to use these experiences to learn. Super-Charged Learning uses the skill-sets that elite athletes use to be champions. Now parents can show their children how to use these to be champions . . . in their academics. Athletes want to be bigger-faster-stronger. Make your child that kind of learner: learn bigger quantities of information, learn faster, hold onto what's learned longer.

Recenzii

There is a great deal of humor in these pages but its purpose is to focus on the enormous potential innate in each of our young people and how to develop it. Many of the lessons that are taught in this book are lessons that I learned the hard way.
I have seen programs come and go but Dr. Giordano's is the real deal. Dr. Giordano has constructed a program that not only gets results, but is fun to use.
Richard was able to pass along several very practical and accessible techniques that can immediately improve the retention and recall of names, dates, and specific facts, etc. Beyond the techniques, students are introduced to the broader and often overlooked concept of using graphic images, rhyme, and familiar paradigms as a way to enrich one's memory.
