In this new release, author and educator Ron Fitzgerald has developed an easy-to-read guide for teenagers to help them learn more effectively. He has over 50 years of experience as a teacher, school superintendent, state director of educational research, and multi-state consultant on brain-friendly learning and quality in the classroom. According to Fitzgerald, recent brain research indicates that each brain is unique and that people have very different learning styles. Unfortunately, most academic programs follow a traditional approach and expect everyone to learn the same way. The exercises in this handbook will help teens discover how their brain works best and how to use it most effectively to excel in school and college.
Brain-Friendly Learning, published by Dog Ear Publishing, is divided into four main chapters. In chapter one Fitzgerald introduces the concept of brain-friendly learning. In chapter two he discusses how we receive information, the characteristics of left-brain and right-brain thinking and also each of the different learning styles: auditory, visual, somatic and reflective. Chapter three covers how we process and use information and the importance of emotional intelligence. Finally, chapter four includes a quiz to determine your own learning style and provides techniques for improving your weaker areas of learning as well as your memory.
Brain-Friendly Learning is presented in an easy-to read style that will appeal to most teens. If you are an educator, this guidebook can provide you with a reference for converting traditional teaching methods into more brain-friendly techniques to help your students succeed.
