Book Reviews of The Art of Changing the Brain: Enriching the Practice of Teaching by Exploring the Biology of Learning
Book Review: A "Must Read" for teachers, a good book for those interested in how humans learn ...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a background in both biology and teaching. This book does an amazing job of tying biology and learning together, including some excellent, in-depth discussion on both what works in teaching, and why we've sometimes failed to teach. It has made me more aware of what teachers are up against (existing neuronal networks, evolutionary brain biology) and has given me more of an understanding of how critical it is to build on what the learner knows and provide concrete experiences. This was used as a text in my Masters class in learning. It is easy to read and understand because the author is putting into practice what he is preaching!!
