How does the brain learn?
What builds brain density and effectiveness?
What is the process that unleashes the awesome power of the brain?
"If there is to be power in your learning experiences it must come from tapping the energies and curiosities of your children, freeing them of artificial fragmentations and unleashing the awesome power of the brain." Susan Kovalik
The brain learns by sensory experience. "Being There Experiences," involving the full spectrum of sensory input, build brain density and pose the brain for effective learning on more symbolic levels.
The brain sorts through the onslaught of stimuli and organizes the similarities and differences, sounds, sights, information, and language. As it works on this automatic function, it is constantly searching for patterns, and grouping like information together.
The Kindrick kids learn how neurons -- brain cells make connections in the brain.
If information is presented in a pattern, it is easier for the brain to store and retrieve.
The year-long EPIC Adventure is a powerful pattern.
Children remember the things they learn during these years because the brain has an established pattern on which to place the entire year's information.
"The more powerful a brain, the more complex, finer, and subtle patterns it can detect." Leslie Hart, Human Brain and Human Learning
Children who live well-planned, year-long homeschool, EPIC Adventures, with significant, meaningful content, learn to detect subtle patterns; see depth and metaphor within information and experiences; and unleash the awesome power of their brains.
