ID: Reflective-Thinking
AB: This book investigates brain structures and functions of the brain's five major systems (emotional, social, cognitive, physical, and reflective), applying findings from neuro-biology to education. It translates neuroscience into an educational framework for lesson planning and teaching. This framework can serve as a mental model for an ongoing assessment of students' basic human needs to be themselves, to belong, to know, to do, and to experiment and explore. It can also help teachers assess the roles they play (mentor/model, collaborator, facilitator, coach, and talent scout) and the personal/professional qualities they bring to the classroom (passion for learning, vision for seeing what is possible, intention for developing knowledge and skills, action for transforming dreams into realities, and reflection for self-monitoring and staying the course).

ID: Brain-Based-Learning
AB: This book provides insight for linking brain research with the multiple intelligences and emotional intelligence theories. It is a reconceptualization of an earlier work that presented a four-corner framework addressing: setting the climate for thinking, teaching the skills of thinking, structuring the interaction with thinking, and thinking metacognitively about thinking. It explains how to use direct instruction of skills, graphic organizers, reflection, transfer, assessment, and other interactive, brain-compatible strategies for the classroom. Seven chapters include: (1) "Brain Research Base" (e.g., physiology, functioning, and nature versus nurture); (2) "Defining Brain- Compatible Classrooms" (e.g., implications for schooling and definition of brain-compatible classrooms); (3) "Setting the Climate for Thinking" (emotions and enriched environment); (4) "Teaching the Skills of Thinking" (types of skills and concepts and development of skills and concepts); (5) "Structuring the Interaction with Thinking" (active learning and experiential learning); (6) "Thinking about Thinking" (reflection and assessment); and (7) "Teacher Appraisal" (e.g., appraisal tool, setting the climate for thinking, and structuring the interaction with thinking). Two appendixes present suggested videos to illustrated the four-corner framework and a picture of the brain. A glossary is included. (Contains approximately 280 references.) (SM)

AB: This paper discusses brain-based teaching and examines its relevance as a teaching method and knowledge base. Brain-based teaching is very popular among early childhood educators. Positive attributes of brain-based education include student engagement and active involvement in their own learning, teachers teaching for meaning and understanding, and teachers immersing students in complex learning experiences. Educators who advocate brain-based teaching focus on cognitive teaching methods, using findings from the neurosciences. Since researchers focus their interest on early education because of the rapid development of synapses during the early years, brain-based teachers hope to develop learning experiences and an enriched environment that can stimulate synaptic growth. Special educators recognize the potential of discoveries within neuroscience for special education instruction. Various instructional approaches have proven beneficial for children with learning disabilities. Research shows that direct and cognitive intervention strategies can remediate learning problems among students with learning disabilities. Research also shows a correlation between neuroscience and brain based education, highlighting three facts: the brain learns best through repetition, the emotionality of an experience influences retention, and the plasticity of the brain allows instructors the possibility of improving student memory.

AB: This book presents information to help teachers turn research on brain function into practical classroom activities and lessons, offering: brain facts; information on how the brain processes information; tips on maximizing retention; an information processing model that reflects new terminology regarding the memory systems; new research on how the brain learns motor skills; implications of the arts in learning; and an expanded list of primary sources for reviewing core research. After an introduction, there are eight chapters: (1) "Basic Brain Facts and Brain Development"; (2) "How the Brain Processes Information"; (3) "Memory, Retention, and Learning"; (4) "The Power of Transfer"; (5) "Brain Specialization and Learning"; (6) "The Brain and the Arts"; (7) "Thinking Skills and Learning"; and (8) "Putting it All Together: Planning for Today and Tomorrow." Each chapter includes a Practitioner's Corner, with activities that check for understanding of major concepts and research within the chapter or interpretations of how the research might translate into effective classroom strategies to improve teaching and learning. At the end of each chapter, a page called "Key Points to Ponder" offers an organizing tool for remembering important strategies, ideas, and resources. Notes which contain additional information, references, and resources are included. (SM)

AB: This book adds to the growing body of knowledge and research suggesting that educators need to move beyond simplistic, narrow approaches to teaching and learning. In Part I, "Accessing the Brain's Potential," current educational practices are examined in light of critical findings of brain researchers. In Part II, "Facts and Theories about the Human Brain," topics, theories, and models of brain functions that seem to address current issues in education and provide implications for curriculum restructuring and design are considered. Major aspects of research are reorganized for the purpose of eliciting a useful and practical set of general principles. In Part III, "Brain-Based Schooling," elements of instruction that are believed to cause students to use the brain's capacity more fully to learn are discussed. Citations number 218. (RH)
