5.0 out of 5 stars
Valuable ideas for hooking student interest and helping a classroom full of dramatically different students function smoothly,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Teachers, Change Your Bait! Brain-Compatible Differentiated Instruction (Paperback)
Specifically written for classroom teachers and curriculum developers for grades K through 12 by Martha Kaufedlt (an experienced classroom educator, including the responsibilities of having been the lead teacher and restructuring coordinator for a demonstration brain-compatible school), Teachers, Change Your Bait!: Brain-Compatible Differentiated Instruction explains how teachers can apply brain-compatible learning theory in a practical manner to ensure that no child is truly left behind in the classroom. Chapters discuss how to develop accurate student profiles, how to adapt presentation and content to the different tastes of individual students, how to help students show what they know and have learned in order to best plan further instruction according to their needs, and much more. A cornucopia of valuable ideas for hooking student interest and helping a classroom full of dramatically different students function smoothly.

Informational and Easy to Read,

This review is from: Teachers, Change Your Bait! Brain-Compatible Differentiated Instruction (Paperback)
This book started with a breif chapter on brain research and then chunked the rest of the chapters starting with the individual, moving to the environment, content, process, products, management, and quick steps. This book discussed everything I had read in other books, but also had insightful stories and a section on classroom management. The layout and writing made it quick to read; I read it in an afternoon.
