Adolescence is the longest period of a child's educational development, and classroom teaching is beng transformed by recent neuroscientific findingd about how adolescent brains actually learn and remember. Here, Jeb Schenk, amaster educator and memory researcher, use cognitive neuroscience to rethink traditional teaching methods and offer strategies and skills to get inside the brains of adolescents and teach them most effectively.

Schenck reviews the neurobiological foundations for learning, explaining how neural patterns impact attention, emotional processing, memory formation and motivation.

Each chapter contains:-

1. A Summary
2. Review of material to aid teachers in translating neurobiological information right into the classroom
3. Practical Interventions
4. Instructional Strategies
5. Resources

Drawing from research on multiple intelligences and the huge array of learning styles among adolesence learners, Schenck explains how teachers can teach to the "whole" student, using a flexible approach that accounts for the vast neurobiological differences across a classroom.

Final chapters review  the future of neuroeducation, understanding multiple intelligences and additional resources. This book will allow you to reach your students in new and positive ways.
