From the Author
With this book I have attempted to find out whether brain science really can tell parents, educators and policy-makers anything about learning. I start with the 16 myths of the brain based and self help movements and then attempt to replace fallacy and fad with facts and findings. The book took three years to write and is intended to be accessible, engaging and authentic. Throughout I have tried to relate the science of the brain back to the everyday experiences of learners.
