Synopsis

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.

I had the opportunity to meet Glenn in Bethesda in June 2019 while attending his conference. As a new school year gears up tomorrow morning, I decided this book was my final "summer read". 1. Teaching is hard. There is no way around that - and if you find that way - you need to find your 'zone of pr......more

Goodreads review by Kelly on August 14, 2017

Required reading for my new teaching position, and I was actually glad of it. It reinforced everything I read in "The Teenage Brain", with more studies and specific information targeted to teachers rather than a generalized parent manual, and again, will be a super helpful reference to explain my te......more
