Product Overview
A teacher’s primary goal is student learning. While good teaching involves many things (data-driven planning, intentional instruction design, strong classroom management, etc.), at the core of all this work is the human brain. This guide provides essential information on how the brain works and how to design learning experiences that work with the brain, targeting key brain chemicals and tapping into the natural ways the brain receives, processes, and stores information.
It includes sections on
- The teacher’s state of mind
- Knowing what the brain prioritizes
- Understanding key brain chemicals
- Designing learning to be remembered
- Key ingredients for a brain-based classroom
- Sample lessons (elementary and secondary) with brain-friendly modifications
- General tips for brain-friendly classrooms
The guide is an invaluable quick-reference resource for elementary and secondary teachers. In addition to the content listed above, it also addresses the teacher’s state of mind, setting goals, and redefining success.
