MindShifts: A Brain-Compatible Process for Professional Development and the Renewal of Education
Geoffrey Caine, Renate Nummela Caine, and Sam Crowell
Zephyr Press
ISBN: 1-56976-091-8

We must begin to shift our thinking from the underlying assumptions upon which most schools are currently based to new assumptions built on principles of brain based learning.

  • Part 1: a study group process for teachers
  • Part 2: an in-depth exploration of the book's twelve principles, concepts from brain research, and activities for group discussion
  • Part 3: discussion of teaching for meaning; relaxed alertness; the importance of complex, "rich" experiences; and ways to engage active processing

This book guides you through the issues that need to be considered in moving from an old to a new paradigm in restructuring schools.
