The New Science of Teaching and Learning

This book offers a definitive, scientifically grounded guide for better teaching and learning practices. Drawing from thousands of documents and the opinions of recognized experts worldwide, it explains in straight talk the new Mind, Brain, and Education Science - a field that has grown out of the intersection of neuroscience, education, and psychology. While parents and teachers are often bambarded with promises of "a better brain", this book distinguishes true, applicable neuroscience from the popular neuromyths that have gained currnecy in education.
