Summary Note "Differentiation is the core of the art and science of teaching. However, even masters of this art may not be effective in the classroom if they don't have a basic understanding of how the human brain grows, develops, and learns. To successfully implement differentiation strategies, educators must design and orchestrate a brain-compatible environment ... Authors Gayle Gregory and Martha Kaufeldt: provide neuroscience research on learning, attention, memory, emotions, and stress; offer low-prep, high-yield strategies for assessing student knowledge, interests, and preferences; show how to create a brain-friendly environment that maximizes student learning; illustrate how simple changes in the presentation of information can engage students more quickly." - Back cover.
