Summary:
This book goes beyond neuroscience explanations of learning to demonstrate exactly what works in the classroom and why. Lessons from mind, brain and education science are put into practice using students as a "lab" to test these theories. Strategies and approaches for doing so and a general list of "best practices" will guide and serve teachers, administrators and parents. -- Provided by publisher.
