<p>"Brain Based Teaching: Making Connections for Long-Term Memory and Recall" seeks to explore teaching and learning through three overarching lenses: Question #1 - How can I "frame" (design) the learning circumstance or activity so that it INVITES ALL learners to get involved, to participate? Question #2 - How can I design the learning experience such that it will CAUSE learners to process, to do the work required for sustained learning and recall to take place? Question #3 - How do I engineer tasks that create opportunities for multiple PATHWAYS to be formed (connections made) for integrated learning, applications and recall? Brain research, though historically focused on abnormalities and pharmaceuticals, has evidenced levels of attention in education and learning endeavors. We have come to understand that "learning" is not merely an exercise in storing information for artificially engineered tests. Our interest and intent have evolved to encompass the notions of recall, long-term memory, and applications - not to mention life-long learning habits. "Brain Based Teaching: Making Connections for Long-Term Memory and Recall" seeks to blend the best of educational practices with what the neuroscience literature has to offer, to date.</p>

<p>"Creating and Changing Mindsets, Movies of the Mind" would not have been conceived if rational behavior was the basis for human interaction and the mysteries of learning and development might not loom in such large wonderment. Yet, there are some strategies to assist. The questions have long been; "for how long will this practice be in place;" or "will this change last"? Addressing the behavior of another (student, child, colleague) seldom prevents repeat occurrences. We may subdue or postpone behavior, but our experience is that the behavior typically returns and repeats itself. Focusing on the mind's internal movies holds much more promise toward impacting behaviors and attitudes. People learn, act out, disrupt, etc. as a result of the internal movies playing continuously in their minds. These movies precipitate behaviors. Teachers and parents encounter them daily. Changing behaviors, attitudes and/or choices, long-term, through the "Movies of the Mind" can be done. Creating "Can-Do" attitudes is a process we can influence. This book provides seven strategies for helping to generate a productive foundation of internal movies from which to make decisions. "Creating and Changing Mindsets, Movies of the Mind" deploys strategies that impact people's actions in a sustained manner, then tomorrow may be a bit easier... and more pleasant for all of us!</p>
