The 2nd edition of 12 Brain/Mind Learning Principles in Action is an important consideration for any teacher or school leader, providing a basic framework based on how the brain learns and updating research sections in every chapter. This edition has been substantially revised for new leadership tips and expanded information on 'process learning circles', and includes focused questions, guided research, discussion topics, and more. Whether for interactive or individual study, it's invaluable.

Cutting-edge mind/brain information

Caine, Caine, and friends have succeeded again, with their new, effectively written book about brain/mind principles. Their earlier book, "Making Connections," is a primer about how the brain learns best. In this new book the authors delineate each of the 12 learning principles in a way that any teacher can use and benefit from. I recommend this book highly as an addition to professional libraries at every educational level.
