About this title

Review

"When it comes to brain research, David Sousa is first among peers. His straightforward explanation of the intricacies of the brain, based on solid research, turns theory into practice and allows educators to immediately operationalize concepts into classroom practice." (Jim Grant, International Educator, Author, Keynote Speaker 2005-11-10)

"How the Brain Learns is an excellent text for educators who are looking to take the next step beyond the confines of the traditional model of direct instruction and who wish to ground their professional development in research about the brain. The chapter on 'The Brain and the Arts' in particular is superb." (Geoffrey Caine, Executive Director 2005-11-10)

"David Sousa will open your mind to the latest brain research that can be applied to classroom practice. This book belongs in the hands of every teacher for practical applications of cutting-edge findings that help us understand how the brain learns best. Sousa is a pioneer in the field of brain-compatible learning, and his ability to synthesize the research is even better in this latest edition of How the Brain Learns." (Marilee Sprenger, Professional Development Consultant 2005-11-14)

"A wonderful and thorough compendium of how our brain learns. Packed with both scientific and practical information." (Eric Jensen, Speaker, Author, Trainer and Consultant 2005-11-14)
