"The Brain-Targeted Teaching Model for 21st-Century Schools" serves as a bridge between research and practice by providing a cohesive, proven, and usable model of effective instruction. Compatible with other professional development programs, this model shows how to apply relevant research from educational and cognitive neuroscience to classroom settings through a pedagogical framework. The model's six components are: (1) Establish the emotional connection to learning; (2) Develop the physical learning environment; (3) Design the learning experience; (4) Teach for the mastery of content, skills, and concepts; (5) Teach for the extension and application of knowledge; and (6) Evaluate learning. Mariale Hardiman presents this model with the educator in mind and offers practical steps for using it to inform instruction and teach 21st-century skills. Her valuable road map will help you achieve improved outcomes for your students and better collaborative professional practices in your school. [Foreword by Martha Bridge Denckla.]
