Human Brain & Human Learning

by Leslie A. Hart

Orchestrating learning that is bodybrain-compatible must be the foundation for what goes on in the classroom. Hart brilliantly explains the biology of learning related to classroom practice and allows the reader to "see" what is necessary for real reform efforts to succeed. The reader comes to appreciate how the brain makes meaning through pattern recognition, prepares to act through mental programs, and responds to emotion.

New Theory of Learning

Leslie Hart's masterpiece powerfully indicts conventional education as far too brain antagonistic. He explains in convincing and compelling language the brain's patterning and programming capacities as essential building blocks if in a secure setting with adequate feedback. Clearly, the enormous amount of infant learning that occurs without worksheets, drill, lectures, teaching and all the other armamentarium of schooling provides obvious proof of how the brain's powers that can harnessed for far greater learning results. Hart pioneered the concept of brain-based learning and remains the clearest exponent of its functioning and how to use the brain's enormous natural processes.
