Quantum Learning - YouTube Quantum Overview Quantum learning is about bringing joy to teaching and learning with ever-increasing 'Aha' moments of discovery. It helps teachers to present their content a way that engages and energizes students. This model also integrates learning and life skills, resulting in students who become effective lifelong learners – responsible for their own education. If you get a chance to take this training, do not hesitate!

Here are some of my celebrations: Round of applause, square, triangle, oval...funny. WOW around mouth. What's really cool is...turn it upside down and it's MOM! Silent Cheer - Rowdy cheering in complete silence. Mute button. Sign language clapping - hands flutter in the air. A big hand - hold your hand up in front. (hahahahaha). Pound it and fizzle away. Give yourself a hug. Pat yourself on the back. Look at your neighbor and say, "YOU...are unbelievable." Sing, "Celebrate, you got it right, uh-huh, uh-huh, oh yeah, you got it right! Woo!" Dancing and singing. Thumbs up. Give it some steam. Firecracker - This one is saved for very special occasions.
