Teachers are brain changers. Thus it would seem obvious that an understanding of the brain – the organ of learning – would be critical to a teacher’s readiness to work with students. Unfortunately, in traditional public, public-charter, private, parochial, and home schools across the country, most teachers lack an understanding of how the brain receives, filters, consolidates, and applies learning for both the short and long term. Neuroteach was therefore written to help solve the problem teachers and school leaders have in knowing how to bring the growing body of educational neuroscience research into the design of their schools, classrooms, and work with each individual student. It is our hope, that Neuroteach will help ensure that one day, every student –regardless of zip code or school type—will learn and develop with the guidance of a teacher who knows the research behind how his or her brain works and learns.
Industry Reviews
Neuroteach provides practical guidance about using theoretically sound research-based principles in the design of schools, classrooms, and work with individual students. -- Judy Willis, (@judywillis), Research Strategies to Ignite Student Learning: Insights from a Neurologist and Classroom Teacher
While highlighting classroom teachers as the experts on learning, Kelleher and Whitman underscore the importance of utilizing the strongest evidence in mind, brain and education science to inform one's practice. -- Vanessa Rodriguez, (@teachingbrain), teacher, researcher and author of The Teaching Brain: An Evolutionary Trait at the Heart of Education
To my knowledge there is no school in America, and no two educators more completely qualified and effective at translating the remarkable impacts of neuroscience down from the 30,000 foot level to 'what can we do in class tomorrow.' -- Grant Lichtman, (@GrantLichtman), author of #EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education
Neuroteach combines important lessons from both cognitive psychology and neuroscience to draw useful, practical conclusions that will clarify not just what teachers should do in the classroom, but better understand the complexities of the science of learning. -- David Didau, (@LearningSpy), author of What if Everything You Knew About Education Was Wrong? and The Secret of Literacy
This level of respect for the process of teaching and learning is sustained throughout the guide, providing its distinct voice and strengthening the authors' call to incorporate neuroscience with pedagogy. -- Mariale Hardiman, (@MarialeHardiman), co-founder and director of the Johns Hopkins University School of Education's Neuro-Education Initiative and author of The Brain-Targeted Teaching Model for 21st Century Schools
