"The human brain wasn’t designed for industrial education. It was shaped over millions of years of sequential adaptation in response to ever-changing environmental demands. Over time, brains grew in size and complexity; old structures were conserved and new structures emerged. As we evolved into social beings, our brains became incredibly sensitive to our social worlds."
Beth Dichter's insight:
How much do you know about your brain? This post will help you learn more about it and how understanding the brain will help you with your students. There is a short introduction and the a list of the main ideas is below. Additional information is available in the post as well as a visual image that links to the nine ideas. Links to additional materials are also available. * The brain is a social organism. * We have two brains. * Early learning is powerful. * Conscious awareness and unconscious processing occur at different speeds, often simultaneously. * The mind, brain, and body are interwoven. * The brain has a short attention span and needs repetition and multiple-channel processing for deeper learning to occur. * Fear and stress impair learning. * We analyze others but not ourselves: the primacy of projection. * Learning is enhanced by emphasizing the big picture—and then allowing students to discover the details for themselves.
