Accelerated learning is the process of acquiring knowledge and skills at a rapid rate. Successful accelerated learning depends on a reduced-stress, supportive environment accompanied by the use of resourceful teaching strategies that include visual aids, graphics, music, imagery, and active learner participation. To facilitate accelerated learning, use techniques appropriate for all three learning styles (auditory, visual, and kinesthetic). Provide:

  • Visual triggers such as flash cards
  • Auditory triggers such as reciting information aloud
  • Kinesthetic triggers such as practicing psychomotor skills
