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.
