Riassunto

Make instructional decisions that optimize learning!

Presenting a unique collection of twelve brain principles, the authors illustrate how the brain learns best and demonstrate how teachers can enhance students' learning potential. Conversational and user friendly, this resource describes how the brain stores and recalls information, guiding teachers in making everyday decisions about academic content and the emotional well-being of their students. Twelve Brain Principles That Make the Difference will show you how:

• Challenge engages the brain
• The brain processes parts and wholes simultaneously
• Each brain is unique
• The search for meaning is innate
