What Do We Know? Cognitive science supports what teachers and industry trainers know by experience -- Immediate feedback strengthens learning and memory patterns.

What's the Impact on Learning? While Brain Target Six is the last stage of the Brain-Targeted Teaching® Model, each stage of the model includes evaluation activities. The goal of evaluation is to provide students and learners with relevant feedback about their performance so that the learner can adjust learning habits and the teacher or trainer can make sound instructional decisions.The Brain-Targeted Teaching Model supports the use of an evaluation measure for each objective and activity.

What Can Teachers Do? In Brain Target Six, teachers and industry trainers align their learning objectives, instructional activities, and evaluation methods with appropriate brain targets. In addition to using selected-response test items such as multiple choice, matching, and true-false, teachers include constructed-response assessment activities such as performance tasks, exhibitions, projects, and portfolios. Constructed-response assessments measure student and learner performances promoted by Brain-Targeted Teaching® that typically aren't measured well by selected-response test items. And teachers use scoring rubrics, keys, checklists, self-evaluations, and reflections to measure what students know, perform, and construct to demonstrate content standards in constructed-response assessments.
