I liked it because it was SHORT, but informative! She includes a nice review of brain researcher and educator Susan Kovalik's ideas. She explains in simple language how human brains work and what separates humans from other mammals - our ability to access our cerebrum, or center of logic.
Karri then provides three implications for the classroom, with practical details. They are simple, but powerful!
1. Create a welcoming and calm environment.
2. Keep students out of their brain stem.
3. Use the body-brain connection.
Perhaps you'd like to do more planning and reflecting with one of these topics? If so, please let me know. I would love to have a coaching conversation with you!
