Pedagogy
The last five decades have witnessed an explosion in cognitive science research that has not only documented the manner humans teach and learn and revealed highly effective instructional strategies, but upended detrimental practices commonly employed. Developed by Accelerated Learning Laboratory (ALL) Green Fields’ instructional model is a modern “systems-engineered” approach that embodies the “new science.” Its application has reduced the “pain” of learning and frustration of ineffective teaching, while it inspires critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving. It includes a robust, comprehensive curriculum that motivates gifted students to achieve their fullest potential. GF is among the few schools to have fully implemented this innovative, research validated pedagogy.
