Excellent introduction to Brain-Based Learning,

This review is from: Brain-Based Learning With Class (Paperback)
Given the explosion of information on the brain, where can busy teachers begin to make sensible use of it? As it is commonly known, the best way to learn is to teach. Rentention is supposed to reach 95% (William Glasser). So this book only gives a basic description of the brain and then adapts Jensen's ten principles for teaching and learning. These are: uniqueness, assessment, emotions, meaning, multi-path, brain-body, memory, nutrition, cycles and rhythms, and elimination of threat. We are not only given an explanation, but also provided with lesson plans and diverse activities to teach such principles. Black line masters are included for reproduction for class use. Everything is guided by the relevance check: WIIFM (What's In It For Me?) and SWYAK (Show What You Already Know). If only all teachers could work through such a teaching program, both teachers and students would have such brain-based principles built into them as a way of life. We will all grow in self-esteem competence, multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, health, purpose and overall well-being.
