What does relevant mean?
Determining why and if the material is necessary to know. Once this is determined the learner will decide whether or not they will engage in actually committing the information to memory.
DESCRIBE DEVELOPMENTAL PERIODS (DP)
The mental, physical, emotional and social development of a cadet are considered when determining a DP. They are age-based and they focus on refining higher-level thinking skills such as reasoning, reflective thinking, and problem solving.
By the end of this lesson the cadets shall have described how developmental periods and learning styles determine learner needs
what is the capital of Canada
Ottawa
"I was grinnin' like I I'm winnin' I was hittin' my marks"
"cause I can do it with a broken heart"
What three processes involve the learner to have a meaningful learning experience?
The learner actively:
a. reflects upon prior knowledge;
b. relates to real-life experiences; and
c. applies knowledge in future experiences.
Four areas to consider when teaching within these DPs are:
-active and interactive lessons,
-structured activities,
-the opportunity for choice within the lesson, and
-goals definition.
Each area varies from low to high depending on the age and DP. However, active and interactive lessons are emphasized in all three DPs.
what is the importance
Instructors must develop an appreciation for all learning styles in order to meet learner needs. Being aware of developmental periods will provide instructors with the necessary tools to plan relevant and meaningful lessons

"don't call me kid, don't call me baby, look at this god forsaken mess that you made me"
"you showed me colors you now I can't see with anyone else"
What is retention? How is it increased?
Retention is the ability to remember material after it is presented. The more information is repeated, the better the retention.
NEEDS OF DPs
Experienced-based DP 1 (12–14 years):
-understand what is concrete / real not abstract;
-have mastered reflexive responses;
-require close supervision;
-want interaction and activity in lessons; and
-are very "me" oriented
what was the name of the lesson
DESCRIBE LEARNER NEEDS
What is the name of the little mermaid in the Disney movie?

"so pack up your car put a hand on your heart say whatever you feel be wherever you are"
"we ain't angry at you love your the greatest thing we've lost"
why is it important to give the cadets PROCESSING TIME
Allowing time for cadets to apply their learning is important so they can move information from their working memory to their long-term memory. The processing time is known as "thinking about thinking", where cadets can reflect on the lesson and plan, monitor, and evaluate their own thinking and learning
when you are teaching a lesson what should you think about
answers may vary
