This easy-to-understand guide pares down the vast field of neuroscience and provides simple brain-compatible strategies that will make a measurable difference in your differentiated classrooms.

Dive deep into the what and how of structured SELf-questioning—a powerful metacognitive strategy you can use to support students academically, socially, and emotionally.

Imagine schools where everyone learns at high levels. Not just some students. Every student. This resource aims to help educators bring these schools to life through the power of neurodevelopmental differentiation. Backed by scientific and educational research, the book outlines how to assess and build students’ inherent strengths in eight major areas in order to increase engagement, mastery, and ultimately, success.

Understand current educational neuroscience research and gain differentiated instruction and brain-based learning strategies for teaching diverse learners.

Research shows that desirable difficulties as achieved with spaced repetition, interleaving, and retrieval (SIR) have positive long-term impacts on student learning, because the learning sticks. This book guides you through these three techniques for a more brain-compatible classroom geared toward student success.

Acquire actionable steps you can take throughout the school year to alleviate student test anxiety and create brain-friendly classrooms full of focus and learning. Understand what causes testing anxiety and discover how to implement social-emotional learning strategies in the classroom to help prepare students mentally, emotionally, and physically for high-stakes assessments.
