In this book, Transforming Your Teaching: Practical Classroom Strategies Informed by Cognitive Neuroscience, Kimberly Carraway, a leading educator and “teacher of teachers,” not only summarizes the most essential principles of how the brain learns, but also unpacks hundreds of ready-to-use applications of research in the classroom, translating the science into teaching strategies and learning activities that optimize student outcomes.
“Finally a user-friendly book to help teachers of all grades! The book simplifies the complexities of the brain, enabling educators to teach effectively in the 21st century classroom.
