Brain-Based Learning

Rating:
Summary: Maximize learning in the classroom
Review: This book covers in laymen's terms how the brain works when it comes to learning. It then takes the facts and helps an instructor use this knowledge to transform their training into a valuable experience. A good read and a great reference to keep coming back to.

Summary: Get off the dead horse of "old school" education
Review: To those seeking an outline of what education needs to practice so "no child is left behind" this book is a starting point about how people learn. The flow of the book is easy to follow and considers the research findings of how the brain learns in stages of life. Unlike those who consider brain research a "fad", I know from application of the knowledge in this book, the influential changes do produce positive results for students. In the world of "accountability" the tools of Brain Based teaching will allow students and teachers a solution in "leveling the field" for the students from less fortunate environments, which politicians are clueless about in regards the obstacles of "survivalists of poverty". I highly reccommend this book to those wishing to "get off the dead horse" and provide a productive environment for education in the 21st century.
