Effective Instructional Strategy

Brain-compatible instruction would have proven effective in my grade 7 inner city classroom. Many of my students did not have basic needs met, such as having breakfast or having a safe and loving environment. Some of the tactics for a brain-compatible classroom would have benefited these students. Providing them with comfortable furniture would have made the environment more user-friendly and facilitate learning. Giving the students fruit, water, additional wait time for responses, more choices in their learning, and more visual stimuli would have made the classroom a more desirable and efficient place to learn. I believe this strategy should be used in all classrooms!
