I’ll begin posting new questions and answers in late August, and during the summer will be sharing thematic posts bringing together responses on similar topics from the past four years. You can see all those collections from the first three years here.

Today’s theme - the seventh one in this summer series - is on Brain-Based Learning.

Previous updated thematic collections are:

Classroom Management

Student Motivation

Implementing The Common Core

The Best Ways To Begin & End The School Year

Teaching Social Studies

Project-Based Learning

You can see the list of Brain-Based Learning posts following this excerpt from one of them:

From 2012/13

Using ‘Brain-Based Learning’ in the Classroom

The staff at BrainFacts.org brought together three affiliated neuroscientists to make contributions in this first post of a four-part series.

Working Smarter, Not Harder, With Neuroscience in the Classroom

Educators Wendi Pillars and Wendy Ostroff offered their experiences in this post.

Taking Advantage Of Neural Networks In The Classroom

Dr. David Dockterman, Renate N. Caine, Ph.D., and Kevin D. Washburn, (Ed.D) are contributed their responses here.

Teachers as “Brain Changers”

In this post, I shared some of my thoughts, a guest response from well-known author and researcher David A. Sousa, and comments left by readers.

I hope you’ve found this summary useful and, again, keep those questions coming!
