<P>This book translates neuroscience research into practical information for use in schools, for all grade levels and subject areas. It explains how to leverage research about how the human brain learns, and how to use it to improve curriculum, instruction, and assessment so students achieve deep learning and understanding. It merges insights from neuroscience with Understanding by Design® (UbD®), used by educators to craft units of instruction and authentic assessments that emphasize understanding rather than recall. Readers will learn: how the brain processes incoming information and determines retention; how science explains motivation and willingness to put forth effort; how to engage students through relevance and achievable challenge; how UbD is supported by research; why specific teaching and assessment strategies help students gain the knowledge, skills, and understanding needed for success; and how to create a brain-friendly classroom climate that supports lasting learning.</P>
