]]> By Posey, Allison.
USA ASCD 2019 .
188 , Research on the brain has shown that emotion plays a key role in learning, but how can educators apply that research in their day-to-day interactions with students? What are some teaching strategies that take advantage of what we know about the brain? Engage the Brain answers these questions with easy-to-understand explanations of the brain's emotion networks and how they affect learning, paired with specific suggestions for classroom strategies that can make a real difference in how and what students learn. Readers will discover how to design an environment for learning that Makes material relevant, relatable, and engaging. Accommodates tremendous variability in students' brains by giving them multiple options for how to approach their learning. Incorporates Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles and guidelines. Uses process-oriented feedback and other techniques to spark students' intrinsic motivation.

Everyday Problem-Based Learning: Quick projects to build problem-solving fluency

]]> By Pete, Brian.
USA ASCD 2010 .
133 , Educators know that problem-based learning answers that perennial student question: "When will I ever use this in real life?" Faced with a meaty problem to solve, students finally "get" why they need to learn the content and are energized to do so. But here's the exciting part: problem-based learning doesn't require weeks of study or an end-of-year project. In this book, Brian Pete and Robin Fogarty show how you can use problem-based learning as a daily approach to helping students learn authentic and relevant content and skills. They explain how to engage students in each of the seven steps in the problem-based learning model so that students learn how to develop good questions, launch their inquiry, gather information, organize their information, create evidence, present their findings, and assess their learning. Using practical examples, they also describe how to help students master these seven important thinking skills: develop, analyze, reason, understand, solve, apply, and evaluate. To put all this in context, the authors offer seven "PBL in a Nutshell" lessons that can easily be incorporated in a single classroom period. Depth of thinking and ease of implementation—this is problem-based learning at its best. 978-1-4166-2472-1

Brain-Friendly Strategies For the Inclusion Classroom

]]> By Willis, Judy.
USA ASCD 2007 .
227 , Many teachers in regular classrooms feel unprepared to teach students with learning disabilities. Fortunately, brain research has confirmed that strategies benefiting learners with special challenges are suited for engaging and stimulating all learners. In this book, neurologist and classroom teacher Judy Willis explains that we can best help students by putting in place strategies, accommodations, and interventions that provide developmentally and academically appropriate challenges to suit the needs, gifts, and goals of each student. Brain-Friendly Strategies for the Inclusion Classroom will help teachers Understand how the brain learns and the technologies that reveal this process. Implement strategies that are compatible with students' individual learning styles and honor their multiple intelligences. Improve the focus of students with attention disorders and help them gain the confidence and skills they need to develop goal-oriented behaviors. Create an enriching learning environment by incorporating student-centered activities, discovery and hands-on learning experiences, cross-curricular learning, and multisensory lessons. Implement strategic review, study, and test-preparation strategies that will allow students to retain information and connect it with future learning. Build safe, supportive classroom communities and raise class awareness and empathy for students with learning disabilities. It's time for teachers to lower the barriers, not the bar. Using strategies that align with research on how people's brains function, teachers can engage all students as individuals and help them reach their maximum potential with joy and confidence. 978-1-4166-0539-3

By Costa, Arthur L..

Costa has assembled an impressive array of authors and substantial new content reflecting changes in the education environment since the Revised Edition of this book appeared in 1991.
