A Statement On Higher Education
A thought provoking video… a few years old, but we thought we’d share it with those that may not have seen it (almost 4 million views on YouTube). It summarizes some of the most important characteristics of students today – how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives […]
One of the 5 Greatest Discoveries in Neuroscience History is Being Largely Ignored
A teacher came up to me at a recent conference. She was glowing about how much she’s been learning about the brain. Naturally, I was happy for her. I asked her what she was most excited about. She said, “Well…just that the brain can change and grow… and it’s got all those dendrites, axons and synapses!”
Teaching With Poverty In Mind – An Overview
The ASCD posted a great 6-part series where Eric Jensen gives an overview on the challenges of teaching children in poverty, and how schools can help children overcome the challenges that poverty presents. To view the series on what being poor does to kids’ brains – and how we can help them to succeed.

He will be discussing the “7 Discoveries From Brain Research That Could Revolutionize Education” and how these discoveries have “real world implication” for all educators. Join the session to learn how you can apply this research to succeed with your […]
Creating Brainiacs
photo: Lisa Krantz/Express-News Eric Jensen led a workshop on brain-based learning for Harlendale Independent School District teachers and administrators at the Boggess Center in July. Jensen spoke about techniques aimed at children from impoverished backgrounds, including helping them cope with stress, learn appropriate emotional responses and increase cognitive stimulation. Creating brainiacs During the summer, about […]
How To Use Technology To Engage Students In Poverty
Here’s a great video from am innovative teacher that is using technology to engage students that are in poverty. Many of his students speak English as a second language, and the blogging approach he provides aids in their development. Favorite quote from the video below: “It’s not basics then enrichment… the basics can be addressed […]
Are Intelligence and Achievement Contagious?
The Most Critical, Must-Have Attitude You Can Possibly Have Starting a New School Year Is… Every year, hundreds (or is it 1,000s?) of new books flood the educational marketplace. There’s no way on earth that you or I can keep up with the flood. But if you were to narrow down the list of critical […]
Why Teach Differently to Those from Poverty?
The brain is run by three things. First, behavioral geneticists estimate that about 30-40% of how we turn out is genetics. But that leaves 60-70% up to either the environment or environment and genetics combined (gene expression). Those who grow up in poverty experience a very different upbringing from middle or upper class kids. Students […]
What’s Good for the Brain is Also Good for the Body!
On most of our visits to local restaurants, the waitress typically asks for the drink order, and second, brings bread or chips. I wish I could tell you that I always resist, but I don’t. But, maybe I should resist, and you should too. Why? Are either of these “restaurant staples” really a good idea?
Water Bottles in the Classroom: A Smart Move or Another Colossal Hoax?
Years ago, I often repeated things I had heard from others who I thought were experts. But many were self-proclaimed experts who were also repeating what they had heard from other experts. Put enough experts together in one room and you have… grander delusions. Bottom line is that I was, at times, too careless and failed to go dig for the quality research. I know better now. Today, lean in close and read the truth about drinking water.
How To Best Implement Music in the Classroom
There are many, many ways the musical arts can be implemented in classrooms.Music can be either played or listened to actively or passively. If you’re playing music in a learning environment, remember these things: Many students who are having difficulty in school may have listening and/or hearing problems; and these problems may be impacting their […]
Are Schools Killing Creativity
A thought provoking video from Sir Ken Robinson, who makes an entertaining and moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity. Why don’t we get the best out of people? Sir Ken Robinson argues that it’s because we’ve been educated to become good workers, rather than creative thinkers. Students with […]
Are Learning Styles a Big Hoax? What Does the Latest Science Say About Different Learners?
I want to address a study that was published in the prestigious scientific journal Nature and on the mainstream news. It claimed that “brain-training” is not effective. Huh? In spite of the quality of the journal, don’t swallow the study results. Why?
Brain-based education is here to stay.
Today, as a result of years of work by brain-based educators, educators are a far more informed profession. They are more professional, they look more at research, and they are increasingly more capable of understanding and incorporating new cognitive neuroscience discoveries than they were 10 years ago. More schools of education are incorporating knowledge from […]
