Publisher's Synopsis
`This is an exceptional book-both well-researched, highly practical, and very in touch with the everyday needs of today′s teacher. In the glut of teaching books out on the market, this one really stands out′ - Eric Jensen, author of Teaching with the Brain in Mind (Atlantic Books 1998)
This book is designed to help teachers create brain compatible learning atmospheres in the classrooms. In a conversational tone, the author presents the reader with theoretical and scientific information on brain-based learning, and lays out practical strategies for teachers to implement. Real-life scenarios are used to explain many of the concepts that are discussed. Relating each area to a character in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz gives the reader another analogy to aid their understanding of what it takes to create these classrooms.
This book will provide teachers with valuable-techniques that will make children want to learn, and will keep the classroom running smoothly.
