The Brain-Compatible Classroom: Using What We Know About Learning to Improve Teaching

Rating:
Summary: Great Resource For Teachers
Review: The Brain-Compatible Classroom is a great book that gives a lot of insight into the human brain. We are often told to do certain things for our children, like make sure they drink plenty of water. As teachers or parents we may not know why we have to do these things. This book clearly shows us why. We need to do them so that the brain can function correctly. In order for our children to learn successfully, we need to understand the brain and how they learn best. When we understand this, we can adapt our lessons around the needs of the brain and the way the child learns to achieve better results.

This book is very well organized and easy to read. Laura Erlauer gives many real life examples from her own experiences of how to implement her ideas into the classroom and school. There are also many lesson plans and ideas that you can take directly from the book and put right to work in your own classroom!

The Brain-Compatible Classroom has helped me to see my classroom in a different light. I am always very excited to find a book that teaches me how to help my children become successful learners and this is definitely one of them!
