What we need to know about our students is not "How much?" intelligence, but "What kind?"  

Learning styles are linked to preferences in the ways people perceive and process experience. Bernice McCarthy?s unique 4MATŪ cycle is a brain-based teaching method that emphasizes diverse learning styles, honors learner individuality, teaches concepts as well as facts, and improves student thinking and performance on traditional as well as high-stakes assessments.

With 25+ years of field testing and field use supporting its effectiveness, the 4MATŪ method uses a 4-quadrant cycle of learning that begins by engaging learners through direct experience, moving them toward
  • Reflective observation
  • Abstract conceptualizing
  • Active experimentation and problem-solving
  • Integration of new knowledge and skills
Learning happens as we unite our experiences and their meaning with actions that test those meanings in the world. This exciting new resource offers schools a powerful tool to enhance teaching and learning for students with all learning styles, backgrounds, and preferences.  (20050729)
