Conclusions

In summary, the MARGE model can have a huge impact on students’, teachers’ and leaders’ understanding of the learning process.

Student understanding of their learning

MARGE can help students better understand how they learn, help teachers refine their practice and help leaders ensure that the best conditions are in place to allow long-term learning to happen.

MARGE and brain science

The MARGE Model uses neuroscience and links this with the latest research into cognitive science.
MARGE allows teachers to affect the learning in their classrooms, to make learning is a whole-brain issue.

Final thoughts

Shimamura states that learning happens best when students are motivated, know what to attend to, can relate what they are learning to what they already know, have the opportunity to generate new links, and evaluate what they have learned.
- ‘Learning is a whole brain issue; it’ll keep you active, should be fun, and it's best when it's shared with others.'

Well done!

Thank you for completing our CPD course. We hope you've enjoyed it and that it has given you some ideas for your own classroom.
