Neuroteach

Teachers are brain changers. Thus it would seem obvious that an understanding of the brain ΓÇô the organ of learning ΓÇô would be critical to a teacherΓÇÖs readiness to work with students. Unfortunately, in traditional public, public-charter, private, parochial, and home schools across the country, most teachers lack an understanding of how the brain receives, filters, consolidates, and applies learning for both the short and long term. Neuroteach was therefore written to help solve the problem teachers and school leaders have in knowing how to bring the growing body of educational neuroscience research into the design of their schools, classrooms, and work with each individual student. It is our hope, that Neuroteach will help ensure that one day, every student ΓÇôregardless of zip code or school typeΓÇöwill learn and develop with the guidance of a teacher who knows the research behind how his or her brain works and learns.
