The Brain-Based Classroom Workbook is designed as a two-page spread "open flat" book to facilitate an immediate solution to common classroom situations that diminish the usefulness of lesson plans, teaching tools and methods that are grounded in a non-cognitive paradigm. All behavior is communication. All behavior is rooted in neural substrates. When we approach learning and teaching with a neural lens, behavior is easily explained and easily aligned with classroom activities that are more appropriate to social, emotional and academic excellence. It is important that children not only survive in social contexts, it is also imperative that they thrive and experience joy that is natural in a learning environment. Acquiring a neural lens for successful teaching and learning is as simple as adopting new vocabulary. When teachers are talking about Reticular Activating Systems, Long-Term Potentiation, and how to Myelinate new structures in the Phonological Loop or the Visual Spatial Sketch Pad, new mental models emerge and are consolidated during sleep time.
