Prepping the Brain: Easy and Effective Ways to Get Students Ready for Learning

(1-8)
This handy, research-based step book shows how you can align your teaching with the way the brain learns best. Packed with strategies and activities, Prepping the Brain is an easy-to-use resource that you’ll refer to often as you help your students:

• build background knowledge
• activate prior knowledge
• process and consolidate information
• make meaning out of the curriculum
• store content in their long-term memories and then retrieve it easily

You’ll learn how to create a safe, nonthreatening, and inviting classroom environment and even how to exercise, feed, and water the brain! Parents need this information, too, so be sure to share it with them. If you use no more than two or three of these strategies in your classroom, you will still help your students learn better. Watch them go from passive listeners to actively engaged and motivated learners!
