In this book, the authors have adapted Eric Jensen’s ten principles that need to be implemented in the classroom for a brain-compatible approach to teaching and learning. These principles include uniqueness, emotions, nutrition, and elimination of threat. The authors also show ways in which brain-based learning can have a positive effect on all aspects of classroom life. The book provides basic information about the brain, ways to teach the students about the brain and how learning works, and dozens of practical brain-based activities for students of every age.
