Rezensionen

What a challenge to educators! The truth is that we do have the power to influence or change the brain of every child in our classrooms. Dr. Biller offers practical research-based instructional strategies that enable educators to create the brain-friendly classrooms in which this challenge CAN be met! -- Cookie Greer, principal, George Washington Elementary School, Kingsport, Tennessee This book is for educators who want to design lessons that are aligned with how the brain naturally learns. It provides a review of current scientific research concerning how the brain functions and includes practical instructional strategies that are easy to use and well researched. I would recommend this book as an addition to your professional library. -- Eric Jensen, author of Teaching with the Brain in Mind, and international consultant on brain-based learning
