Holistic Learning
Bigger & Better Journey is the only learning centre in Brantford that actively incorporates the Holistic Learning approach into every class & workshop we offer.
What does 'Holistic' mean? - Traditionally thought of as a medical term, holistic is characterized by the view that a whole system of beliefs and/or conditions must be analyzed rather than the mere individual components.
How is this applied in the learning environment? - Instead of trying to cram your brain with information; organizing and categorizing the concepts frantically hoping you'll remember them when you need to - Holistic Learning is the process of intertwining the knowledge or concept you are learning into everything you already understand. Intertwining, or "weaving this web" of information creates several "avenues" to retrieve information that has been learned. If one particular pathway is blocked, there will be multitudes of other pathways that will lead to the same point of information. This sophisticated method for learning can transform what was once thought to be a "gift" into an acquired skill.
