Understanding the Brain Helps Teachers Educate Students

How do we explain the brain in such a way that allows teachers to be even more effective?

 

Dr. Donna Wilson is a psychologist, author, university faculty, and former teacher. She is a pioneer in applying implications of research from the transdisciplinary field of mind, brain, and education to practice for preservice and in-service teachers and educational leaders.

Marcus Conyers is a university curriculum developer and researcher with a focus on practical applications of mind, brain, and education science.

Both Conyers and Wilson say that when a teacher positively believes that the students in a classroom will be successful, the students will believe it. The result? Higher performance now and for the lifetime of the learners.
