Renowned educators Gayle Gregory and Martha Kaufeldt take you on a tour of the brain\'s "seeking system" and explain the learning conditions and teaching practices that encourage it to thrive. These field-tested approaches, strategies, tools, and templates make it easier for you to: prepare motivational "brain-friendly" environments and lessons that stimulate student engagement; improve knowledge acquisition by appealing to students\' needs and preferences; get students into a state of flow that helps increase their depth of knowledge and complex thinking skills; and address school factors that may lower students\' motivation and engagement in learning.
