Teaching Around the 4MAT (R) Cycle: Designing Instruction for Diverse Learners with Diverse Learning Styles Bernice McCarthy

4MAT (R) has transformed my teachers from adequate to outstanding.
-Robin Kvalo, Principal
Rusch Elementary School, Portage, WI

Principals and teachers have continually requested 4MAT (R) training as the 'basic core' of knowledge for teachers in our 80,000-student district. We have trained literally hundreds of teachers over the past ten years to 'teach around the 4MAT (R) wheel' and meet the learning needs of all their students.
-Patricia Shelton, Director of Certification and Professional Development
Brevard County Schools, FL

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 4MAT (R) 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 4MAT (R) 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.

Teaching Around the 4MAT (R) Cycle Bewertungen

As a parent and a teacher, I would truly love to see all teachers teach with the depth and intention that fully understanding the 4MAT Cycle instills...this book is different because it is not a theory book. It is more of a how to book...A holistic, step-by-step framework for addressing the diversity of learners is presented rather than a few helpful strategies to try. -- Julia Koble
4MAT has transformed my teachers from adequate to outstanding and made them different educators...knowledge of the 4MATmodel keeps my teachers searching for a variety of lesson approaches around a concept that will enable all our students to learn and achieve. -- Robin Kvalo

I have worked with teachers using 4MAT while serving as a high school principal and I have personally utilized the planning tools as a staff developer and superintendent...teachers are energized by the training and find it to be an invaluable tool for planning instruction as well as a powerful way to think about learning. -- Fred Morton
The 4MAT system has had a positive impact in several schools througout Illinois ranging from rural to urban, impoverished to affluent. It is a proven model for improving instruction, and the leadership component has enabled formal and informal leaders to create a culture of success. -- Max McGee
Through 4MAT, teachers are able to meet the needs of individual learners, address hemisphericity, and successfully engage students in the learning process. -- J. Kay Giles
