The brain-targeted teaching model for 21st-century schools / Mariale Hardiman ; foreword by Martha Bridge Denckla.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

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; 6) Evaluate learning. --Book cover.
