Course Description:

This course is about how we think and learn and will explore current information about how our marvelous brain takes in, stores, retrieves, and uses information. New knowledge about how the brain works is tremendously valuable to educators. It allows us to design lesson plans, discover and implement instructional strategies and create classroom environments that work toward enhancing brain-compatible learning and teaching. This results in a difference between students who are only mildly interested in learning - simply going through the motions - and those who are fully engaged in learning.
