Synopsis:

Transform classrooms through collaborative curricular explorations!

Nationally renowned presenter and consultant, Robert Sylwester, applies the latest in brain research and learning theory to classroom management. Difficult concepts of psychoneurophysiology are translated into easy-to-spot behavior triggers readily accessible for teachers and administrators. The author suggests imaginative collaborative classroom investigations that will help teachers and students understand and improve their behavior and learning potential.

Key concepts covered:

  • Biological and cultural foundations of classroom management
  • Principal brain systems
  • Energy, space, time, and movement: key elements in classroom management
  • The range of biologically possible and culturally appropriate behavior

Sylwester offers activities appropriate for all grade levels and subject areas to empower students and enlighten teachers. An essential resource for creating an environment for enhanced learning.
