Edited by:


November 2011 | 200 pages | Corwin
The Best of Corwin series showcases key chapters from critically acclaimed Corwin publications for a powerful compilation of perspectives on important education issues and topics. Featuring the works of recognized pioneers in the nascent field of educational neuroscience, this cutting-edge collection shows how to apply current brain research to teaching and learning. The book is divided into three parts: The Developing Brain, The Brain in School, and Instructional Strategies for Every Brain. Chapter topics include:

- Brain structures and development from birth through adolescence

- What causes the brain to pay attention and remember

- How the brain learns to read and calculate

- Differences between the male and female brain

- The social and academic needs of students with learning difficulties

- Strategies for keeping students' brains engaged, focused, and energized

Teachers are brain-changers, and knowing more about how the brain learns can only make you more successful at reaching and engaging young minds.
