Teaching with the Brain in Mind: Unlocking Cognitive Potential in the Classroom is a witty, science-rooted, and deeply practical guide for educators who want to align their teaching with how the brain actually learns. Drawing from neuroscience and cognitive psychology (without the jargon), this book offers a fresh and empowering framework for designing classrooms where attention sharpens, memory sticks, and thinking deepens.
Inside you'll find:
- How to use neuroplasticity, retrieval, and spacing to boost learning retention
- Strategies for reducing cognitive overload and building executive function
- Techniques for enhancing emotional safety and motivation through classroom design
- Practical insights on attention, distraction, and how to actually teach metacognition
- Ways to integrate visual thinking, embodied learning, and feedback that rewires the brain
- Classroom-tested tips to make lessons more brain-aligned without turning your room into a neuroscience lab
This is not a checklist book. It's a mindset shift — a funny, curious, and strategic invitation to teach smarter by working with, not against, the biology of learning. Whether you're new to brain-based teaching or ready to level up, this book will change how you think about thinking.
