Brain-Compatible Classrooms, 2nd Edition

Formerly a SkyLight publication.

In this second edition of Brain-Compatible Classrooms, author Robin Fogarty has synthesized research and addressed the role of standards in the brain-compatible classroom. Fogarty's work is based on four principles:

• Setting the climate for thinking
• Teaching the skills of thinking
• Structuring the interaction with thinking
• Thinking about thinking

As brain research explodes, parents, teachers, educators, and students are intrigued with the emergent knowledge of how their brain/mind remembers and learns. This valuable resource provides the bridge from research to practice for teachers who want to use the latest findings to create high-achievement classrooms.
