Editorial Review: Product Description: When the first edition of Teaching with the Brain in Mind was published in 1998, it quickly became a bestseller, and it's gone on to inspire thousands of educators to apply the latest brain research in their classroom teaching. Now, author Eric Jensen is back with a completely revised and updated edition of his classic work. In easy to understand, engaging language, Jensen provides a basic orientation to the brain and its various systems and explains how they affect learning. After discussing what parents and educators can do to get children's brains in good shape for school, Jensen goes on to explore topics such as motivation, critical thinking skills, environmental factors, the "social brain," emotions, and memory and recall. He offers fascinating insights on a number of specific issue, including * How to tap into the brain's natural reward system. * The critical link between movement and cognition. * The impact on learning of environmental factors such as lighting, temperature, and noise. * The value of feedback. * The importance of prior knowledge and mental models. * Why stress impedes learning. * How social interaction affects the brain. * How to help students improve their ability to encode, maintain, and retrieve learning. The repeated message to educators is simple: You have far more influence on students' brains than you realize. And you have an obligation to learn as much as you can to take advantage of the incredible revelations that science is providing. The revised and updated Teaching with the Brain in Mind, 2nd edition helps you do just that. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Excellent resourceThis is a truly excellent book! We've had horrid teaching for way too long. I think this books makes a great case as to why horrid teaching needs to stop. We need education to be meaningful and worth it for kids! Rating: - Mind Boggling (pun intended!)This book is incredibly informative and of course (pardon the pun) very mind boggling! As a teacher still relatively new to the profession as well as the various teaching ideologies/philosophies, this book has truly shaped my perceptions on teaching and understanding the 21st century learner. And most importantly, I am able to understand my students from a purely biological point of view and this in itself informs and guides every aspect of my teaching. Even though I did not read the first edition, ... Read More Rating: - Teaching With the Brain in MindReally good insights into how the brain works. I learned some new concepts that are helpful to teachers. I did this in a book chat and it was well worth it. Rating: - Teaching with the brain in mindThis book is a very quick read with lots of information for those teachers who want to change their teaching style to "brain-based" teaching! Very easy reading-good suggestions to use in the classroom! Rating: - MindIam very satisfy with this book. The condition in which the book arrived in Puerto Rico was perfect. A great book to read especially for an educator. Thank you; Juan
