Intended AudienceScholarly & Professional

SynopsisThis book will provide information and insight to educational leaders that will enhance their ability to lead, guide, and support the classroom teacher. These insights will be provided through an examination of five neuroscience principles. Readers will be given opportunities not only to find overt links to how these principles unfold in classrooms, staff rooms, and board rooms, but will also be encouraged to find connections to their own unique contexts (both professionally and personally) along the way. Each of the five principles presented will include information about the neuroscience behind the principle. Focus questions and real stories will be used to clarify the context of each principle. These anecdotes will include examples of how we see and experience these principles in action. Specific strategies of how the principle might be exemplified in a K-12 school setting will be included. At certain points throughout the book, content questions will be posed to assist the reader in their own processing and understanding of this complex material., Apply neuroscience to leadership and become a gamechanger An instructional leader who understands how people learn has the power to transform a school and raise student achievement. Brain pioneer Margaret Glick weaves the fields of cognitive science, educational leadership, and instruction into a cohesive framework for understanding the benefits of how the brain learns: Increased understanding of the learning process Improved communication Enhanced relationships Better interpersonal skills New tools for giving effective feedback An inner compass for continuous improvement Included are brain illustrations, rubrics, implementation ideas for teachers, step-by-step pedagogy, and assessments., Apply neuroscience to leadership and become a gamechanger An instructional leader who understands how people learn has the power to transform a school and raise student achievement. Brain pioneer Margaret Glick weaves the fields of cognitive science, neuroscience, educational leadership, and instruction into a cohesive framework for understanding how the brain learns, and shows how to apply this knowledge to teacher and student learning. Understanding the five elements that affect how we learn results in the following benefits: Increased understanding of the learning process Improved communication Enhanced relationships Better interpersonal skills New tools for giving effective feedback An inner compass for continuous improvement Included are brain illustrations, rubrics, implementation ideas for teachers, step-by-step pedagogy, and assessments to help instructional leaders understand how brain functions inform instruction, and how to teach these principles to their teachers.
