Cutting-edge mind/brain information

Caine, Caine, and friends have succeeded again, with their new, effectively written book about brain/mind principles. Their earlier book, "Making Connections," is a primer about how the brain learns best. In this new book the authors delineate each of the 12 learning principles in a way that any teacher can use and benefit from. I recommend this book highly as an addition to professional libraries at every educational level.

"Connecting research from the neurosciences, sound constructivist pedagogical practices and the National Teaching Standards, the authors produced a treasure of brain-based classroom practices to enhance learning. Educators wishing to harmonize their educational practices with research on brain functioning will find this fieldbook indispensable."
?Arthur L. Costa, Emeritus Professor of Education
California State University, Sacramento

"In this ?how-to? book, the authors offer practical suggestions for merging today?s requirements for teaching to standards with recent findings from brain research. If you are a practitioner or school leader looking for a way to energize staff with a spirit of inquiry and create a genuine quest for continuous improvement, this book is required reading."
?Judy Stevens, Former Director of Elementary Schools
Spring Branch ISD Houston, Texas

"As educators are invited to think about new possibilities and try new approaches, administrators and other instructional leaders are provided very practical strategies to support and nurture that growth?with new patterns of teaching and learning emerging as the process unfolds."
?Linda Hargan, CEO
Collaborative for Teaching and Learning, Louisville, KY

"Just as children peer into the mysteries of a kaleidoscope with wonder and amazement, so do we as educators gaze with anticipation and excitement at the panaroma of innovative strategies within the pages of this guide. The brilliant 'colors' of theory, practice, and sensitivity blend to create a beautiful learning mosaic for today's teachers and children."
?Dottie Gottshall, Professor, Elementary Education Department
Stephen F. Austin State University
