Summary:

Elaine Johnson presents a system of instructional methods based on how the brain functions and how these scientific principles affect teaching. Relying on research and bolstered by first-hand experience, the author takes the guesswork out of teaching by showing that student-centered learning, critical and creative thinking, and collaboration, along with other teaching methods, are brain-compatible strategies.
