Description
The book summarizes the six research-based principles of brain-friendly teaching. For each principle we learn the rationale, receive a thumbnail sketch of the tools to implement the principle, then explore one principle in depth. For example, for Principle 4: Emotion, we learn how eliciting emotion while teaching improves students' cognition and memory; we receive a thumbnail sketch of six practical tools to elicit emotion in your classroom; and then Dr. Kagan explores Eliciting Positive Emotion (one tool) in depth. If you're looking for a comprehensive reference, opt for the original book. If you're looking for a condensed version to get the big picture in a little book, this is a great option.
