This frame was developed by Learning Forum, a company specializing in Accelerated Learning programs for students, educators and business people through its SuperCamp and Quantum Learning programs.
Quantum Learning Frame
Enroll: Hook the students with an intriguing opening statement and global picture of the lesson. Pique their curiosity. Give them a glimpse of what is to come without revealing too much. Enrolling students establishes rapport and ignites a desire to explore.
Experience: Give students an experience or activity that demonstrates the lesson. Create a need to know. An experience creates curiosity and emotional engagement. It allows students to tap into prior knowledge and make connections, adding meaning and relevance to the content.
Label: Drop the "data" in at the moment of peak interest and discuss its relevance to students' lives. Explaining the lesson after the experience capitalizes on the student's natural desire to label, sequence and define new learning.
Demonstrate: Provide opportunities for students to translate and apply their new knowledge to other situations. Giving students additional activities demonstrates to them what they know, and builds confidence.
Review: Cement it in the students' minds. Review strengthens the neural connections, increasing retention.
Celebrate: Celebrate your students' success. Celebration brings closure by honoring effort, diligence and success.
The Quantum Learning teaching frame ensures that the lesson is taught on several different levels. Enrolling the students first piques their curiosity, creates excitement and raises expectations - all positive emotions. Allowing them to experience the lesson through a game or activity engages the student, making the lesson more concrete and more fun. At the end of the activity, students may have more questions then they began with - this is the teacher's cue to "label" the information, explaining and debriefing what was just learned. A demonstration helps students connect their experience with the new learning, and a quick review cements it in their memories. Finally, the class celebrates their success - with high-fives, saying words of acknowledgment, playing upbeat music, or giving a class cheer. Though the students may not know it, the entire lesson was a carefully orchestrated Accelerated Learning experience
